Happy Independence Day
July 5, 2009
The weather was cool but a little bit drizzly, and we had parked a solid mile away. The optimist in me had insisted that I carry my tripod and camera bag in hopes of shooting some fireworks pictures … though the pessimist in me laughed along with my wife, feeling that this rain would never let up. (For the record, my wife was laughing because I looked like a dork trucking this stuff around the high school stadium grounds.) We were walking the kids “carnival” area with our good friend Linda and her two boys, who didn’t seem to mind the long lines in anticipation of the inflatable castle.
And at 9:50, the Dublin city fireworks display was scheduled to begin.
Apparently, this is where our high property taxes go … but it turned out to be money well spent. We enjoyed the show, the festivities and the Four Tops concert (we just missed Boyz II Men; talk about high school flashbacks!), and I am happy to say that yes, the rain did let up … just in time, as if on cue.
Happy fourth of July to everyone, and may we be thankful for the freedoms and quality of life we so often take for granted!

I myself buy from and would recommend the following camera retailers to any one! They offer good prices and top shelf service. In particular, both Adorama and B&H are great resources for learning and I've always found their staff to be very helpful and knowledgeable. I'd so appreciate it if you use the links below to begin shopping; it won't cost you an extra cent but I'll earn a small commission which will allow me to spend more time answering your questions and helping others!
