I forget sometimes that I live in New York City. Well, not that I live here but just how amazing this city is. When I am reminded it usually hits me in a moment of euphoria over my surroundings. This photo, and the few hundred that accompanied it, is the result of a day spent falling in love with this city all over again.
Independence Day in New York City 2011. Watching the fireworks through the long barrel of a lens was a wholy different experiance than watching them as a casual observer. Trying to find focus in between brilliant flashes of light and the dark abyss of starless night.
This shot reminds me of something you would see through a telescope. Perhaps this is that moment just after the Big Bang. If you look closely maybe you can see the God Particle that scienctists are so eager to find.
If you want to see more of the photos I took last night I put some up here : http://fredwatford.zenfolio.com/p601406684/slideshow
