Did we just witness the end of the Republican party?

( You knew I was going to have something to say about this political blow-up and boy do I have a lot of text here )

Fourth of July photos (fireworks and a bit of lightning)

Massive. 77 images, culled down from many many more. The project took me a couple months of very off-again/on-again work. I'm conflicted about this. I should be shooting more, not less, but the work of processing when I've produced hundreds of candidate images is daunting. I should be able to plow through things faster, but I don't.

The final impetus is impending Arisia and planning to shoot a lot there. I still have a lot of backlog to clear.
