Thematic Photographic 82: "2009 - The Year that Was" v.3.0 - Nuv Yug, Roller Derby, and The Fourth (and Third) of July
Summertime, and the livin' is easy. Actually, around here, the livin' is hot and humid and sweaty and kinda gross. But photo opportunities abound, some of which I expected. Others? Not so much. If you'd told me coming into 2009 that I'd be snapping madly away in Dorton Arena for the Nuv Yug India Fest 2009 in March I'd have probably nodded in agreement. Perhaps even vigorous agreement. (Okay, technically that's not summer, but work with me okay?) Because I think it's important to be exposed to other cultures, and what better place than events where those cultures are on display for you to ... be exposed to them? But if you'd followed that prediction up with one that said I'd be back at Dorton Arena in June madly photographing the Carolina Rollergirls Roller Derby team, I might have questioned that notion. And yet. Then came July, and with it not one, but two Fireworks Displays of Consequence. And everybody knows how much I love shooting those. I could have squeezed in a third one if I could have managed to get myself to Durham on July 2. But getting to Lake Benson for Garner's celebration on the 3rd, and topping that off with the show in Raleigh on the 4th provided me with a fantastic crop of fireworks shots.

Thematic Photographic 80: "Abstract" v.2.0 Abstract by Definition
Fireworks are sort of abstract by nature most of the time. Sure, there are the ones that blow up in the shape of the liberty bell or whatever, but your average rocket's red glare is just a bunch of light trails made by glowing embers. And smoke. Lots of smoke. This was probably toward the end of the display at Atlantic Beach's Fourth of July celebration in 2008 and if you don't know for sure what you're looking at you could convince yourself that this was a shot of some distant nebula taken buy the Hubble telescope or some kind of phosphorescent plankton or... It almost seems a shame to find out that it's just your typical bombs bursting in air.

They only last a few seconds, but we flock to them like moths to a bug zapper any time there's a display. They signal in new years, mark the anniversaries of important events and in general enthrall young and old alike. We liken all kinds of experiences to them -- some pleasurable, some not so much. they have the power to captivate, possibly in part because of their power to harm. But viewed at a safe distance, there's nothing else like them.

Thematic Photographic 63: "Big" v.7.0 - Big Finish
It seemed somehow fitting to have my final entry in the "Big" theme be the big finale at the big 2009 Fourth of July fireworks display. Complete with a big [expletive] tree somebody planted directly in my way. Best laid plans, yeah?
