2013 Week 51 Photos

(29th week photographing daily)

This past week was an eventful week with the largest fire Kingston has seen in decades followed by an ice storm that tried to rival that of 1998. Events such as those make for amazing photography opportunities. As exciting as it is to photograph these events, no one wants them to occur but when they do hopefully I’m around to photograph.
