,,,it means progress, not perfection. Last year I got ticket # 20. This year, I snagged # 2! For a sizeable plate of spit-roast lamb at the Portland Greek Festival.
Taken in Williamsburg,Brooklyn on Kodachrome 64 using a Nikon F4s and 20mm 2.8 AF-D.
This photo has always been extremely difficult to get scanned correctly. The slide was always a little off and really was useless for printing purposes because the car turned out too dark. It was always extremely difficult to scan, as well. I've tinkered with it over the past year randomly and feel that I've managed to get it correclt. Hopefully I still have the slide, and it wasn't tossed on my latest purge
The good thing with fireworks shots is that that they are usually taken against a black background and so it is easy to combine a number of shots to create the particular composition or effect you are looking for.
This image is the result of four exposures, one that captured the range of bright streams of light low down, one that had the sparks at mid level and two for the high level bursts. With all the shots being taken in the same position on trip then it was a case of using lighten mode to stack the layers together.
So while they did not all happen at the same time it is the effect of being there that you are left with.

Cologne Cathedral (German: Kölner Dom, officially Hohe Domkirche St. Peter und Maria, English: High Cathedral of Sts. Peter and Mary) is a Roman Catholic church in Cologne, Germany. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Cologne (currently CardinalJoachim Meisner), and is under the administration of the Archdiocese of Cologne. It is renowned as a monument of Christianity, of German Catholicism in particular, of Gothic architecture and of the continuing faith and perseverance of the people of the city in which it stands. It is dedicated to Saint Peter and the Blessed Virgin Mary. The cathedral is a World Heritage Site, one of the best-known architectural monuments in Germany, and Cologne's most famous landmark, described by UNESCO as an "exceptional work of human creative genius".[1] It is Germany's most visited landmark, visited by 20,000 people every day.[2]
Construction of Cologne Cathedral began in 1248 and took, with interruptions, until 1880 to complete. It is 144.5 metres long, 86.5 m wide and its towers are approximately 157 m tall.[3] The cathedral is one of the world's largest churches and the largest Gothic church in Northern Europe. For four years, 1880-84, it was the tallest structure in the world, until the completion of the Washington Monument. It has the second-tallest church spires, only surpassed by the single spire of Ulm Minster, completed 10 years later in 1890. Because of its enormous twin spires, it also presents the largest façade of any church in the world. The choir of the cathedral, measured between the piers, also holds the distinction of having the largest height to width ratio of any Medieval church, 3.6:1, exceeding even Beauvais Cathedral which has a slightly higher vault.[4]
Cologne's medieval builders had planned a grand structure to house the reliquary of the Three Kings and fit its role as a place of worship of the Holy Roman Emperor. Despite having been left incomplete during the medieval period, Cologne Cathedral eventually became unified as "a masterpiece of exceptional intrinsic value" and "a powerful testimony to the strength and persistence of Christian belief in medieval and modern Europe".[1]
I can't wait to get one of these. Motorists will think i'm a UFO. At least I'll be visible.

So I am counting backwards as I prepare for my ultimate departure from the US.
I am turning on my cerebral button that says tourist mode.
First stop: The Museum of Modern Art.
Salvador Dali still speaks to me so eloquently.
The Persistence of Memory.
Even though this white pine has been split open at some point, and is also growing out of bare bedrock, it is still managing to hang on. There's a life lesson there.
"Have faith in God,"Jesus answered. "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." ( Mark 11: 22-24)
We still don't have water, and probably won't till next week. Due to my ridiculous assortment of maladies, I cannot sleep anywhere other than my 20-year-old couch. See a problem with that combination?
i got steroid injections in my neck this morning. I have PT tomorrow, and will have my knee operated on on Monday. Wish me luck figuring out how/where I'll be sleeping!
