Have a Perfect ’10!
In behalf of the entire Mistula crew (who cannot be bothered to pose for a group photo), we wish all of you the brightest this 2010!

2009 was an unforgettable year of great calamities, even greater heroes, staggering losses and profound gains. Come 2010, we hope fashion will be less embarrassing and pop literature more intelligent, and that humans finally live up to what is written on sci-fi novels. Year 2010 does sound futuristic – and optimistic. Let’s hope Sir Arthur C. Clarke is right, that it holds interplanetary travel and sexy robot assistants, not fangless vampires and mustard yellow skinny jeans. Let’s make it stellar!
Here I present Joey’s Spectacular Light Show, taken at the final hour of 2009 at the Shelf’s roof deck. She was not drunk. She just had fun with a slow exposure, wide aperture and a lot of fireworks. The following photos were not altered in any way.













We’d like to thank our neighbors for sharing their fireworks with us. They were fantastic even if they gave us blasted eardrums and dark nostrils.
Happy new frontiers, Tellurians!

No, just slow speed and a wide aperture. The fireworks are too bright for b-setting.
Have an awesome 2010, Sin!

I managed to take 320 shots before our neighbors ran out of fireworks.
