人火了！

贴心电邮

我们刚刚发布了  Stuck On Earth的最新版本(Retina HD-graphics)，最近我还收到了Joe Crocker的邮件。征得他的同意后，我拿出来与大家分享。谢谢John!

您好！

我女儿的一个好朋友得了糖尿病，不久的将来即将失明。我一直在搜集世界各地美景的照片给女儿，这样她就可以在朋友仍可以见到光明的时候与她分享。而您的网站Stuck On Earth最大程度上拉近了我们和世界的距离。

顶级疯狂派对

这应该是我参加过最疯狂的派对了！一张照片很难说清现场的狂热。而且还不是一小会儿——持续数小时，人们手舞足蹈，高声尖叫、打着激光、放飞气球……基本上现场一派疯狂！

每日一瞥——人火了！

“火人节”主要活动期间，我爬上起重机。升空之前，工作人员再三确认要“高升”的诸位都已经去足了卫生间。一旦起重臂抬起，你在上面一待就是两小时。我只能说操作员应该对此绝对是一本正经，因为之前火人节最糟糕的状况就是“下来”的时候。

The Man BurnsI was able to get up on a crane during the main event at Burning Man. Before I got on, they made 100% sure (and then double-checked) that everyone had gone to the bathroom. Once you are up on the crane, you're up there for two hours. I can only assume the crane operator was very serious about this because the worst-possible situation had occurred during an earlier Burning Man when he was at ground-level.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of the post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

    Oh wow!! This is an awesome shot – so vibrant and alive and full of color! Can’t say I am too fond of the climbing up the crane story though!:)

    This is an amazing photo.

    I want to get a Ipad just  for Stuckonearth…is that a bad reason to get it? This is by far one of the best shots I have seen of Burning Man! And I could never get a shot from this angle, and not for the fear of the heights of a crane but for my child sized bladder lol.

    Nice pic ,but tend to stay away from madden crowds. As much as the are plenty pics to take there is always some badness around. Prefer peaceful places without noise. Just looking at this pic is like, you can imagine how deafening the noise must be.I’LL pass!!

    Curious? Why are you moving to New Zealand? Have heard things as I visit the blog and I’m curious. It’s somewhere I’ve always wanted to go. Lucky you.

    Men is not machine, doctor, paramedic, nurse are being serve the world through their own competencies , they do not have any authorization to create someone going to blind next years or next week, if they say “going to blind” it ‘s  referred their own task and responsibility as a medical worker. They are not wrong.
    Now, back to ourself as a human, you , me , your sisters/brothrs and your freind sisters also human, having same power having same opportunity to find ourself influence – it’s God spirit, it’s available in everyone of us, and HE always waching us, who ever respond to God watching, GOD will respond to those people, including your sister freind : Come to GOD, and GOD will come to you.
    Forget analitical thinking mind, everything badly exist just inside of our mind – it’s not real, preparing space in our mind for HIS coming by praying, and visualise we accepted what GOD want……………………….

    Wow, is all I can say, Trey!!!  I would have been so nervous being up that high.  But you are used to being in high places.  What a spectacular photo!!!  Have a great Tuesday!! :-)  And how nice the fellow could show his daughter the photos before she is blind.  What a sweet email to receive!!!!

    Thanks!

    I’ll make a big blog post about this some time – it is a common question Dave ! :)

    Are you seriously suggesting that converting to a monotheistic faith can cure diabetes? Because last I checked Christians, Jews and Muslims all go blind from diabetes. Even the good ones.

  • Andrea Boyle

    What a great photo…and the perfect site, too.  I hate crowds and have often longed to be the fly on the wall.  You made it, Trey! That’s my dream!

    Nice job indeed! I know people involved in Burning Man that knew your name from the photos you made there, but din’t even know your blog (I’ve shown it to them though).

    How long do you normally stay in the festival, a few days or the entire week?

  • Dave Morgan

     Would like to plan a trip there sometime. Fjordsland is a place high on my list. Check out my site sometime: http://www.travelbugster.wordpress.com  Keep up the good work.

     What a small mind you have to assume that because the friend has diabetes that they have no relationship with god.  I would suggest that your god is too small if it doesn’t include being god of the diabetic.
