Titles are very important to me and given recent events I wanted a deeper title for this image…..but I really wanted it to be perfect…..it had to be. Yesterday I printed out The Star-Spangled Banner and read it more carefully than I ever have before. In doing so, the title found me…..
And the rocket’s red glare,
the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night
that our flag was still there
