After are long day cycling on the Playa in the Black Rock Desert , we ended at the end of the day dancing with hundreds of burners in the dust, drinking free orange juice with an energy drink. It was hot, we were tired, when we suddenly saw that beautiful little cat walking around the dancers. I have never liked cats, but this one was so pretty. Living animals are forbidden at Burning Man, as per regulation.

He was distributing naughty leaflets smiling, but when I asked him if I could take a picture of him, he took his serious air of the kind “I am irresistible and you know that!”. He gave me one of the cards from his left hand, I gave it to Jules. I think his name was George.

This is the smile of victory. After many years of intense preparation, Laurent’s team, Oracle Team USA, won in 2013 the famous America’s Cup in San Francisco Bay. No need to come back to what was the closest match in the America’s Cup history, ORACLE TEAM USA wining 8 consecutive races after initially falling behind New Zealand. Laurent has been working for many years now for America’s Cup and Oracle, both in Portugal, Spain and in the USA. I like this picture of Laurent, a cup of champagne in the hand, five minutes after USA 17, the fastest boat in the history of the event, crossed the finish line. Laurent gave a call to the family in Europe, his daughter’s hand trying to say “hey Dad, I am here also to celebrate the victory with you”, and his wife in the background with the american flag she kept with her during all the competition.
It is not that common to meet with horses in the streets of San Francisco. This one immediately accepted that I take a picture of him. He was a proud horse.

After a long night, before a long day; he was sleeping at the foot of the Burning Man wooden structure.

While the Black Rock City Rangers were starting their day, I saw that beautifully policewoman lying on the sofas, drinking her fresh coffee. It was 6.30am, she was just relaxing after her long night.
