Independence Day

To celebrate the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s exploration of the Hudson River, this year’s July 4th fireworks spectacular took place over the Hudson rather than the East River. Of course, this meant every New Yorker - and photographer - had to choose a new sight line to view the show from. Contributor Jody Kasch climbed onto a 24th Street rooftop and captured these surreal portraits as 40,000 shells were exploded at a rate of 1,500 per minute.

Did you ever notice tat fox and all other mainstream “news” never mention anything about the eletist fascist takeover of America.Dont you people know?Just like Clinton and Bush before him,Oboma is a puppet to a much larger power structure.If you dont know were headed for a fascist dictatorship then you dont want to know.You are also a coward and aiding tyranny.

The picture of Hudson river and its surroundings are worthwhile to see again and again.
Your photo journalists proved themselves great in their works.
