Manipulated, multiple exposure abstract photography is one of them . This work done in 1969 is decades ahead of it's time. The sky seems to be ablaze with fire and light symbolizing ordnance in air, fury of the crowd and a "rockets red glare" reference with the American Flag as a central point in the composition. It was chosen by trail blazing famous Black Curator Henri Ghent for inclusion in the First Color Photography Show at a major American Museum. "Images en Couleur" 1970, Brooklyn Museum.
