I have no idea when this shot was taken. There’s a ridiculous notation on it that says “late ’78 to early ’08″\u009d. I’m guessing it should say “late ’07 to early ’08″\u009d, but that still doesn’t tell me exactly when I took it, but in any event, I’m putting it in 2008.<\/span><\/h4>\n

This is from another 4th of July where I managed to get the two-blocks-away church steeple and the couple-of-miles-away fireworks from another town into the same shot (that town no longer has July 4 fireworks).<\/span><\/h4>\n

I’ve done better.<\/span><\/h4>\n

FLIP PHONE PHOTOS<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

I got a flip phone in 2007 and it actually took some semi-decent pictures.<\/span><\/h4>\n

This was an interesting lawn party. The upstanding gentleman on the right has a stick up his butt and two other people look like they need one.<\/span><\/h4>\n

My early 1970s formal wear. I recall that that music note was visible below my college graduation gown. And every one of those patches was needed. A special thank-you to Elaine Kolbek (O’Toole) for keeping those jeans alive.<\/span><\/h4>\n

NOVEMBER 11, 2020! Look what I just found:<\/span><\/p>\n

THE GEORGE WASHINGTON BRIDGE ON VETERANS DAY<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

A windy day is a good day to shoot the GWB flag and since it’s not always windy on the few holidays that it flies each year, this particular November 11 was perfect.<\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

1. The Fort Lee Historical Park sits on the Palisades right next to the bridge and it’s a great vantage point for GWB photos.<\/span><\/h4>\n

The winged structure behind the bridge is the George Washington Bridge Bus Station.<\/span><\/h4>\n

It was fortunate that a Circle Line boat happened to come into the picture while I was shooting.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Y’all are familiar with the Little Red Lighthouse, right? It was sitting there for about 40 years before the bridge was built and there’s a 1942 children’s book called “The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Grey Bridge”\u009d that happens to be on YouTube:<\/span> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9qsBv8xInQI<\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n

.\"\"<\/a><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. & 3. These are fisheye shots of the flag with and without wind:<\/span><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Lastly, I took a flip phone shot of the flag from practically underneath it that may be one of the best pictures I ever took of it. I couldn’t find a larger copy of it, but if I do, I’ll switch it out.<\/span><\/h4>\n
