I drove for three hours across Florida one night in 1995 — spent five minutes photographing this launch of Space Shuttle Endeavor — and then drove back to continue covering Phillies spring training again the next morning. There were 135 Space Shuttle missions between 1981 and 2011 — including two disasters, both of which I covered — but this experience was worth the trip. The earth shook in a ways that words cannot satisfactorily describe. You could just drive up to the beach and watch it.

Firefighters didn’t have much of a chance against this fire in an abandoned warehouse in Camden, NJ, in 2008. All photos © Jim MacMillan: jim@jimmacmillan.com • Blog • Twitter • Facebook • Google+ • Linkedin • Skype • AOL IM • Mobile 215.882.4765 • SMS
