Back in July of 2010, I put together a simple collage of some firework photos I took on the 4th, but was never quite happy with the result (photo in comments). I finally found time to re-do it and make an actual shape out of them. I used about 50+ more fireworks than last time, and it took 10x longer to do.
PLEASE READ
✦ I am very aware that Alaska and Hawaii are missing. It was
intentional, as I didn't have enough fireworks to finish the entire
map. I had to settle for the mainland. Also, the "heart" was
not supposed to represent either of them; it was just a cute addition
that I wanted to stand out from the rest.
✦ There are clearly more fireworks in this photo than there are states. It's just a collage, not a literal representation.
✦ My inspiration to do these came from this photo, but I did not use the mentioned Petapixal application. All of the fireworks that you see in my creation are from individual photos I took myself and then manually put together via Photofiltre.
✦ Please credit. That's all.
luna-oki, richuna, gaia.gonzales, *dapple dapple, and 60 other people added this photo to their favorites.

I saw this on Tumblr too... I was actually told by another Flickr member that if you contact Tumblr support staff, they will remove the image from the entire server, so that may be something to consider.!
In any case, this is incredible! :)
