the best thing about shooting professional fireworks....

is that no show is ever the same.


Every show has its inherent dangers. It comes with the territory.
This one in particular started out as a decent sized show for the "Tigerama", the Clemson University football homecoming. Originally, I was to be chasing down the tubes during the show and lighting any shells that failed to launch from the electronic keyboard. Then the state fire marshal decided to show up and said that he didn't feel comfortable having someone hand light a "dud". so we rearranged the game plan and I'd stay close and just "watch" the shells just in case. then after a point, I'd pull the welding tarps off the finale and get ready to rock and roll. well, as I'm waiting for my cue to prep the finale, I heard a sizzle instead of a "fwoomp!" from the body of the show. and just as I turned to look.... I saw the flash....
