About This Website

This blog is intended to showcase my pictures or those of other photographers who have moved beyond the pretty picture and for whom photography is more than entertainment - photography that aims at being true, not at being beautiful because what is true is most often beautiful..

>>>> Comments, commentary and lively discussions, re: my writings or any topic germane to the medium and its apparatus, are vigorously encouraged.

No more waiting - fireworks ~ Lake Placid, NY - in the Adirondack Park • click to embiggenLate yesterday afternoon, the rain stopped, the sun came out, an American Bald Eagle landed close by in a tree, boats festooned with 4th of July paraphernalia paraded by, the wife baked a 4th of July flag cake, went to Lake Placid and passed time with a beer while waiting for fireworks, and then climbed in our canoe and paddled out to position ourselves at a spot on the water where the fireworks would explode over our heads. After which the fireworks exploded over our heads.
