I don't kown if I'm qualify to participate cause I'm not from Dallas - Fortworth area. If that's a case, please delete mine. Otherwise here is one of mine during recent Houston 2009 Balunar festival.

No, everyone is welcome.. even people who don't have good taste in cities.



KIDDING, I kid.


Seriously, everyone's welcome to submit anything they think fits the theme... and Mike, you'd better submit anyway.

I had an engaged couple who was taking a balloon ride. I was supposed to take pictures of them taking off only. What she didn't know was that he was going to formally propose to her and give her a ring... but it was supposed to be while they were on the ground. He talked to the captain and worked it out so I could go up with them and he would propose up there. It was fantastic!!!! I had always wanted to go up in a balloon!!!! Did I mention I am terrified of heights?! As long as the camera was in front of me I was fine. I'm not sure how to embed pics, so here is a link to my favorite balloon pics...

Also if anyone knows how, please tell me or where I can go to find out how too... Thanks!!!!

Thank you Brad! The funny thing about the shoot was that since I was planning on doing everything from the ground and in a mad hurry I ran out the door with what was already in my bag... my wide angle lense was sitting quietly on my kitchen table. So needless to say I had to literally hang half way out of the basket to get most of the shots. I now never leave home without everything!
