Celebrating Independence

I spent last Wednesday, July 4th at the county fair with some of my best friends. We did the whole bit, from corn dogs to the footsy wootsy massager to funnel cake to fireworks. It was one of those instant classic sort of days, when somehow everyone seemed to be on the same wavelength about just eating, wandering aimlessly in the heat, and letting the holiday wash over us.

There were actually two ferris wheels…

And some fireworks that were fun, though I have to say they were nothing compared to Boston last year on the roof of the lab. Poor CA and its fire danger.

Assuming technology keeps going the way it is, someday we won’t choose between flash and exposure time. We’ll get crisp shots whether we like it or not. So those blurred out, weirdly exposed digital photos are going to be even more nostalgic in their imperfection.
