 “T'was the night after fireworks, and all through the land, I can only hope,
                          that no one lost a hand.”

It's that time of the year again when people spend vast amounts of time and
money shooting off fireworks. As of now, it no longer sounds like a war zone
and the smell of black powder has drifted onward. So I hope everyone had a
safe Fourth of July and that this:

[Fireworks that exploded at ground level, with a capture that says,
“Amateurs: There's a Reason Professionals Exist.” I still think this is one
of my best photographs and I'm amazed that not only did I survive, but it
came out as well as it did.] [1]


never happened to you.
