Notes on Kite Aerial Photography: Photo Gallery
Aerial shots of the effigy as the sun sets on his last day. Black Rock City can
be seen in the distance on the left (Canon 24-mm, August 2001)
It was about this time, sunset on the day of
the burn, that it occurred to me how well the effigy's pose seemed to fit the
moment. It is the pose assumed by the good guy surrendering to crooks in a B-grade
Western, "reach for the sky Stickman" the desperados would bark. Where
the good guy would stand
awkwardly in a momentary disadvantage in the old westerns, the situation proved more dire for the
effigy. But I am getting ahead of the story.
