1. 4th of July - This year, the closest my wife and I got to celebrating Independence Day was sitting on the couch watching the yearly Macy’s spectacular on TV while overhearing our neighbor’s kids shout in excitement as they illegally lit up fireworks on our block. Needless to say, nothing particularly special but we spend the holiday together. Arguably the crowning jewel of this holiday is going to see the fireworks in person and yet we fail every year on our commitment in trying to make it but the picturesque feel of this photograph fully inspires me to be present next year. The human figures on the bottom frame add tremendous depth and atmosphere to the image and you truly feel the awe of what you can expect from being there. (Photograph by Toshio Kishiyama)
