Hooray for Fireworks

July 4, 2006

We have heat-seeking missiles, the ability to travel in space, to clone animals, yet the most advanced technology we have in fireworks is making boxes and smiley faces. Please explain.

Yo, yo July 5, 2006 at 10:03 am: I like the smiley fireworks

d July 5, 2006 at 10:36 am: what about the slow floaters? they would slowly float up,
then slowly descend, then slowly float up again, sparkling all the while. tell me that sucks. go ahead.
laura July 5, 2006 at 11:00 am: i kinda liked the floaters.
thigh master July 5, 2006 at 11:49 am: yeah, i want fireworks that look like the faces of all the presidents, or at least the outlines of all the states, or at least of each member of keane, even though they arent american
laura July 5, 2006 at 3:09 pm: you mean members of the strokes. that would truly be great.
nicole July 5, 2006 at 3:57 pm: OMG u had a good view.
My camera cant take nice pictures like those.
Were u in a building when u shot these?
I was in the midst of the mob of people along FDR drive. There were so many people..it was INSANE!
Merrie July 5, 2006 at 7:46 pm: At least you even got a stupid smily face.

Where I live the best we got was a f*ing malfunction, a sh*t fanalle, and a few wimpy fireworks…. those picture kick ass compared to what I saw…
Merrie July 5, 2006 at 7:47 pm: Sorry for my anger and hatred and misspelling in that last comment…

I just LOVE fireworks and I was totally dissappointed this year

Anonymous July 6, 2006 at 6:27 am: oops! ignore the blank anonymous comment above… i was trying to post a copy of my picture of fireworks (the saturns), but it obviously didn’t work! anyway, great photos as usual – i really enjoy your site… great writing, and great photography. keep it up!
Erik July 8, 2006 at 9:37 am: I think the standard fare was pretty cool, I was so close that car alarms were being set off from the sound. But yeah, the cubes and shit were lame. I mean, we live in the year two thousand and fucking six. Movies in the eighties told us we’d have flying cars and shit, but the best we can do is cubes. CUBES. I’m just happy Marty McFly never saw this.
