finally the fourth of july
we do an annual camping / river float trip every year with about one hundred of our closest friends. we all converge on brownstown in bishop, ca on 4th of july weekend. after the fact, i always wish that i had taken more pictures, not that everything needs to be documented, quite the opposite, but i do love pictures of fireworks. i think joe’s picture of sam was “best in show” as far as i saw … this is probably the 2nd or 3rd year i’ve brought a camera and honestly, i still don’t take it out of the camera bag much … here are a few that i like:
and some sparkler action:
back at camp … in the dark, 30 second exposure …
farewell to the river and the morning tradition
until next year,
BTR

Best in show? Flattered, Jake!
that’s a great shot and really opened my eyes to using a flash in that situation.!!
Dig Petey X and the fountain.
thx dennis. you should’ve seen Pete doing bunny hops over the fountains on his son’s bicycle … my shutter was too slow to catch it, but it was cool.
