Waterfire ‘08 - Kansas City - part one

The Waterfire event was last night - lighting up wood burning torches in the creek, set to eclectic music and dance performances, and some fire-twirling thrown in too. Trying to photograph it kept me busy for awhile anyway. I will be posting more photos from the event in the coming days.

My camera and wide angle lens fell hard on the pavement along the creek before the event started - I was on an incline and didn’t have the tripod legs stretching far enough, so the whole apparatus tumbled - the tripod, my Canon 5D  which I sold one of my kidneys for, and my wide angle lens that was attached.

I’ll be leaving for New York today, but the site should keep up to date throughout the week, though no new photos from New York until I get back to Kansas City next Saturday.
