A helium balloon, escaping into the great blue beyond, in black and white. I got this balloon for my sixteenth birthday (2007-08-17), and by nine days later, it still was trying to get away, so I set it free and photographed it. I’ve given out print copies, but this is the first online publication. I hope you enjoy it.
I switched to black and white, cropped out tree branches that snuck into the frame, and made the sky and balloon almost black with the curves function.
Buy a 4*6 copy for $0.95 (USA only). Lustre finish. After adding, go to your shopping cart.
