july 4 2006

lanker tradition, since at least high school, is party on july 4, finished off with fireworks when it gets dark. other things to do that day: tubing, rope swing, swimming, bonfire, pingpong, of course the potluck meal, and a good deal of socializing (mom, should i know these people?). its one of the few times in the summer when we get all the cousins together. so my cousin andy is also an avid photographer and actually has the good fortune of working at cord camera, where i go sometimes to drool on the glass countertops while looking at the DSLRs and the extension tubes (don't ask, its a camera thing). anyways, so these are some of his photographs from that night. enjoy.
