2-0 out of 5 stars This is so meta...
Here it is - a review about how hard it is to read a non-fiction book about how hard it is to make a documentary film about how hard it is to make a fiction film about how hard it is to drag a ship over a mountain.Seriously!The main problem with this book is that we hear the SAME story 4 consecutive times - first in the screenplay to the documentary, then in director Les Blank's journal, then assistant director Maureen Goslin's journal, THEN in a magazine piece.Enough already!I guess this was easier and cheaper than writing a real book on the subject.

3-0 out of 5 stars Mainly for serious bufs of serious films
The book of Burden of Dreams is a third level of self-reflexivity in action.First we have Herzog's "Fitzcarraldo", then we have Blank's excellent film, then we have this book about Blank's movie. Confused yet?For those into "method" film making, it's afascinating read, but not much more enlightening than the films themselves. We get to read journals about how hard it was for Blank's team to watchhow hard it was for Werner's team.And, we learn a lot about Blank, who isa treasure as a documentatarian.

Fortunately, the stories are worthtelling.It's higher minded than, say, "You'll never eat lunch in this town again".

All have cured me of my desire to visit Peruvianjungle. ... Read more

Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 22. Not illustrated. Free updates online.

Excerpt: Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe is a short documentary film directed by Les Blank in 1980 which depicts director Werner Herzog living up to his promise that he would eat his shoe if Errol Morris ever completed the film Gates of Heaven. The film features Herzog cooking his shoes (the ones he claims to have been wearing when he made the bet) at the Berkeley, California restaurant Chez Panisse, with the help of chef Alice Waters. (The shoe was boiled with garlic, herbs, and stock for 5 hours.) He is shown eating one of the shoes before an audience at the premiere of Gates of Heaven at the nearby UC Theater. He did not eat the sole of the shoe, however, explaining that one does not eat the bones of the chicken. Blank went on to direct Burden of Dreams (1982), a feature-length documentary about Herzog and the making of Fitzcarraldo. Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe is included as an extra on the Criterion Collection edition of the Burden of Dreams DVD. ...http://booksllc.net/?id=2471429 ... Read more

Product Description

“Barbara Traub captures an expansive desert of everything but normality where monstrous beings of all shapes, colors and sizes congregate each year with contraptions that challenge everyday familiarity.”—Sidelines Online

“The event is more than the sum of its art cars, kinetic sculptures or suntanned bodies clad in body paint and glitter (and sometimes not much else).”—Wired

Attended by 20 people on a San Francisco beach in 1986, the “Burning Man” festival has mushroomed into a desert pilgrimage for 40,000 people annually. For one week, Burning Man qualifies as Nevada's fifth-largest city, and climaxes on Labor Day weekend with the burning of four-story tall wooden “man.”

This is an unprecedented photographic record of an evolving decade of Burning Man, from its infancy as a performance art exhibit to its explosion as a pop culture destination. Photographer Barbara Traub captures the sacred and profane, from inspired costumes to otherworldly artifacts that defy convention.

Traub describes the dynamic scenes along with contributions from filmmaker Les Blank, Burning Man founder Larry Harvey, and poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Now a global network fueled by the Internet, Burning Man is the twenty-first century’s ultimate celebration of the human imagination.

Barbara Traub is a critically acclaimed photographer residing in San Francisco, California. Her art has exhibited internationally, and her Burning Man photographs have appeared in Wired, Spiegel Online, Photo District News, San Francisco Chronicle, and New Age. Chief photographer for HardWired's book Burning Man, she curated Photo SF’s 2004 “Art of Burning Man” gallery.

5-0 out of 5 stars Burning Man Book
I bought this book from the reviews- while I beleive it is a great book it does not do the pictures justice. Close ups and distorted content. Whereas I wanted to see a participators eye view of the art and not someone who is trying to be a published photographer.

5-0 out of 5 stars A Photographic Treat
Desert to Dream is a remarkable accomplishment -- a stunning tapestry of images and words that appears in essence to be a mystery play. I am amazed at the visual, emotional and spiritual complexity of her work that evokes deep contemplation. The book is very well laid out and I like how the diptychs are paired, even in some instances where there is a b&w and color photo side by side. Traub's sense of style and composition is dynamic and goes way beyond the usual ways of seeing. Congratulations on such an extraordinary book.

5-0 out of 5 stars visually stunning
Having attended Burning Man twice (in 2003 and 2005), and having connected to the amazing experience that it represents for the mind and the body, I am glad to see a book that is capable of capturing most of the images that trigger our senses. Good any time of the day ... it's best alongside your breakfast, helping you carrying the 'burn every day' philosophy throughout your day and evening.

5-0 out of 5 stars Desert to Dream: A Decade of Burning Man Photography
The photographs in Desert to Dream: A Decade of Burning Man Photography
by Barbara Traub convey the special and unique personality of the annual
Burning Man Festival. They also convey the humanity, sense of community
and the unique artistic sensibilities of the participants. The photographs
are excellent in their own right and are a sensitive mixture of color and
black and white. There are several pictures of nude women and men, which are real tributes to human beauty. Also, toward the end of the book, many of the photographs portray surrealistic images that only an expert photographer like Barbara Traub would be capable of. This book is well
worth the investment, not only for those interested in Burning Man, but also
those interested in photography that is spectacular. ... Read more
