The annual "counterculture" event sees around 70,000 people visit Black Rock City, Nevada each year and form a giant semi-circle for a weekend of self-expression, civic responsibility, music, art, and some pretty crazy fashion choices.
Founded in 1986, the festival which starts on Sunday, August 25 and lasts until Monday, September 2 has been home to some pretty incredible scenes over the years.

He shared a selection of the photos, from what he calls "a haven for enquiring minds," with Business Insider, and is also releasing a limited number of collector's boxes for 980 ($1,090).
