Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque. Mass ascension — every direction you point the lens, another cluster of color fills the frame.
Nature always has another story waiting.
Balloon glow at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta with my son, 2018. The burners fire and the whole envelope becomes a lantern for a few seconds.
Scenes like this stay with you long after the trip ends.
Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, 2018. Got in close during inflation and the overlapping envelopes turned into something almost abstract.

✨ DM if you’d like to reserve a signed print.
