People Behind the Event
Hot air jubilees, including the annual one in my hometown, are great for photography material. The colors, the shapes, the ambition.
But it’s hard not to fall into cliché. If you’ve seen one soaring balloon, you’ve probably seen them all. And unless you have an in-basket view, there’s only so much you can do from the ground.
It’s why I like focusing on the people behind the event – who puts these things together? What are their jobs? Is there any struggle?
Or, what if you took the colors away? And just focused on the shapes? Hence, this shot from just before sunset.

Thanks to fellow photographer Matt Lockwood for the heads-up on this place. I’ve photographed the exterior before, but never the interior.

Many thanks to my friend Janelle for hooking me up with a press pass.
Pull
Hurray for good weather for this weekend’s Hot Air Jubilee in Jackson, Mich.
And sure the balloons are cool, but the people are pretty fun, too.
Schweizer Family
Had a blast making family portraits for my good friends, Nate and Kelli, and their kiddos Sophie and Evan.
A lovely night in the park, a giant lollypop as an incentive, and fun family get-together.
Local Barn
A landscape follow up to my favorite little local barn.
Honored to have it featured on Flickr’s Explore.
