Prospective Cover - '76 Pyro

Today I thought I would post a picture given to me by our editor - Michael Richards. This is a prospective cover for the next issue of '76 Pyro featuring beautiful artwork from Rosemarie Fiore. It is unlikely that this will be the final cover, so I thought I would share a rare glimpse of the magazine during production.

Above is a great picture of Jeff Cellucci's pyromusical shot at the Midway Fireworks Festival, photographed by Michael Richards of '76 Pyro Magazine. The shows have been unbelievable this weekend, with one more to go tonight. Everyone who comes out has been thoroughly impressed with the choreography Jeff put together, and by the power and beauty achieved with 1.4G consumer fireworks.
