Beachhouse Fireworks New Year's 2006 by Jim Taylor : Click on the photo to see more images. "I often use the word 'joy' when describing fireworks. It is a considered work, deliberate in choice. Not just amusement, entertainment or astonishment, but joy. Our art makes us all into children again for awhile. We become one in our experience for the moment, lost in the sound and color and light. We see large forces, stronger than we can be, yet beautiful in their efforts. Sometimes violent, sometimes restrained. Deliberate beyond imagination at time, coarse and rude at others. Deadly force, dangerous, dirty stuff. Crafted with sweat. Controlled by the artist. Bringing joy to many. Bringing joy. To me the art encompasses all of life. Pain and work, plan and mistake, joy and tragedy. For all the pain, injury and failure we suffer, our efforts bring the joy - the magic to thousands. Not a bad return. Though very few ever recognize the effort, nearly all remember the result, and have for a few moments, the joy. The world is better for an instant. What more could one want? ~ Jim Taylor ~ Fireworks from his last show at the Beachhouse Restaurant in Bradenton Beach on New Year's Eve 2006 are featured below...
