Fireflies

Each year, Tivoli, New York photographer Pete Mauney awaits the arrival of the fireflies, and for about three weeks each summer, the bioluminescent insects settle beneath the moonlight around his house on quiet evenings. He shoots almost every night.

When asked if he misses the fireflies once they’re gone, the photographer responds, “yes and no.” If they followed him year round, he admits, they would “drive me kind of nuts.” After all, the magic of the insects lies in part in their brevity. They’re here one night, vanished the next.

Some of Pete Mauney’s firefly photos are available via 20×200. You can follow his blog here.

if one more soggy toilet paper roll tries to convince me im being oppressed i will personally send you a frozen turkey so that your mom can cook it and you can eat it and then you can watch it go through your entire digestive tract since your head is conveniently shoved so far up your ass that you have a great view of your colon
