After viewing these images on the Millennium Gallery website, Glenn Bliss of Vancouver, BC wrote in the comments section:

Heather, your photographs are stunning. You capture eternal eyes and souls, looking out from innocent garments and unsuspecting visages. I hope you continue to travel and find more of these jewels that lurk in otherwise docile settings.

Heather Conn - Maya on the Playa: Burning Man — Local photographer Heather Conn displays images from the last two Burning Man Festivals on the Playa of the Black Rock Desert in Nevada. She documents this eight-day annual Festival which is held as an experiment in community, radical self-expression, and radical self-reliance; the attendance has grown from 20 participants in its first year (1986) to an estimated 39,100 in 2006.
 

 

 

Here’s an article I did for Seattle’s PhotoMedia magazine on two photographers who exclusively shoot black and white: Bruce Barnbaum and Michael Kenna:
