AOKC Burning Love Valentine Print, by daniel3886 on Feb 6, 2017 20:32:00 GMT 1, So over this year I've sold around 60 of these so 40 left of the first run to sell. AOKC's currently raising funds to buy books for children in Nepal. So with Valentine's just round the corner I thought newer members who'd joined within the last year may like the opportunity to win favour with someone they love and help the Children of Nepal.
Order here
www.etsy.com/uk/listing/496579534/burning-love-print-limited-edition?ref=shop_home_active_1
I'm pleased to announce the release of 'Burning Love'. All profits from this edition will go to The Acts of Kindness Collective (registered charity no.1164796).
My friend Justin was at Everest base camp when the earthquake hit Nepal in 2015. He was very lucky to survive. In the aftermath he decided to stay and help as much as he could. He reached out to all his friends and through their generous donations was able to purchase and distribute much needed aid quickly and to some of the remotest parts of Nepal. Raising ยฃ67,867 Learn more about their initial fundraising efforts here www.gofundme.com/AOKNepal
The edition features Justin himself (top right) and his friend Gavin "hugging it out" on top of Jeff Schomberg and Laura Kimpton's sculpture The Pyramid of Burning Love - Burning Man 2014. More on the sculpture and its making here:

Awesome shot, but isn't one of the founding principles of Burning Man decommodification? And specifically for pictures taken there 'not be used for any commercial, promotional, editorial or otherwise non-personal reasons...' ? Even though it's for a good cause it seems a bit out of spirit with the event?

AOKC Burning Love Valentine Print, by daniel3886 on Feb 7, 2017 13:53:30 GMT 1, My friend having previously been someone who traveled the globe from party to party. After his near death experience at the foot of Everest found his true calling and instead of leaving as soon as possible was able to reach out and distribute nearly 70k in areas where no aid was reaching saving countless lives. Subsequently they have run projects to build schools and help people in need of prosthetic limbs. Currently they are buying books for children. I feel this is important work. This charity is very different in that the maximum possible amount of money is spent on their projects not salarys there are 2 unpaid people plus my small contribution.
I respect your opinion and for me it came down to a motivation to help in an area where I thought I could make a difference. If the proceeds were going anywhere apart from a charity I would not be involved. I think seeing images of Burning Man inspire people who aren't currently part of it to get involved. I own 2 books on the Art of Burning Man which are amazing.
Anyone who doesn't agree with the thoughts behind the project is free to pm my and I'll happily discuss I with them.
I appreciate the feedback. To question others motives is a good way to keep the moral compass pointing in the right direction.
