Fireworks, 2009

Fireworks

Aaron and I enjoyed our evening of Myles Pizza and fireworks in Bowling Green this year. It had been a few years since we’d done the fireworks thing, and we enjoyed ourselves, even though the fireworks weren’t especially spectacular.

This was the first year I shot digital for fireworks photos; I think they came out great, and photographing fireworks with instant feedback was a lot of fun! Check out other fireworks photos from years past, including 2005 (in Holland, Ohio), 2004 (in Bowling Green), and 2002 (at Hemlock Lake in Michigan).

Bonus shot from 2002: Diana incredibly fat and sunburnt. Yikes.

Party Like It’s 1996

Drew's Party, 1996

Heather, me, Liz, and Mary at Drew’s party, March/April 1996. (Or thereabouts.)

From back in the days when friends were plentiful and my love with Aaron was new, shortly after Mary introduced the two of us. This party involved watching the Star Wars Christmas Special, drinking Everclear mixers, and playing Risk.

(Taken at the same party this photo was from.)

Exactly 13 years ago… Damn.

This was originally going to be a test of posting a photo to my blog from Flickr via my iPhone… until I discovered that I can’t blog photos via Flickr Mobile. D’oh!

I can, however, “moblog” by e-mailing a photo to my Flickr account. Flickr will then automatically post it to my blog at the same time, which is handy. I’ll give that a try sometime soon.

I do wish that Flickr had more specific settings for category and excerpt and a few other minor tweaks. It’s a pain to have to go in and assign a category after blogging a photo from Flickr (which is why I rarely do it that way).
