This is a shot by a photographer that I've been keeping an eye on for a while. His name is Tristan Savatier and he goes by "loupiote (Old Skool)" on Flickr.
It was initially his shots of Burning Man that first caught my attention, but his portfolio is much broader than that. He has an amazingly good eye, and also his knack for catching his subjects in really compelling poses is quite enviable.
To top it all off, he seems to have some connection to (or friends in) the Burning Man organization. He always seems to have a few photos that would be hard to get without special permission to be somewhere. Case in point, this shot of this years temple burn was clearly taken from one of the cherry-picker cranes that were lined up around the crowd. Lucky bastard. ;-)

hi, this is tristan here.
thanks for the compliments!
yes, this particular photo was taken from a cherry-picker, thanks to Andy Grace. I must also say thank-you to Padawan (from DPW) who took me up there.
the rest of my 2007 photos are on playa-dust.com.
Thanks for the comment, Tristan.
You're a lucky fellow to be so well-connected... but then again your photos are more than impressive enough to justify getting some good support.
I've checked out your site many times. Bravo, man! Great eye you have there. Inspiring.
