The current main picture for this tribe is from El Circo Friday night at Burningman. After I had posted this photo on flickr, someone commented on it saying my photos "are like windows into a different world. Photos from a colony of Earth in the far flung future."
I couldn't help but wonder at the similarity between this comment and the current catch phrase "Beautiful people from the future."

As the discussion on Out with the PLUR and in with the Classism was rolling, I thought "Beautiful People from the Future" (BPF) was a bit pejorative, but after thinking about it, I decided it was positive. The/our "scene" is positive in that anyone can be a BPF if that is something the enjoy or desire or whatever. I find it tremedously liberating and it stimulates my imagination and brings me wonder. it's just about creativity and expression. When I take pictures, I love the deep expression or crazy creativity. The creativity I that I'm attracted to comes through clothing, make-up, headdresses, tattoos and the expression comes from ecstatic dance or deep trance or standing in solidly or laughing or flirting or being timid.
If someone is just beautiful but not present or feeling it or if they put on a beautiful outfit but aren't connected to it I think it shows and I generally don't take those photos, but then again I could be totally wrong. Its so amazing how different my perceived experience can be from the others which is somethign the whole recent PLUR discussion showed me.
