Red Balloon on Black

Piece description from the artist

This was my first time at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. It was like the first time I saw the Grand Canyon… it just takes your breath away. The color the excitement and the anticipation of the assent. The morning was cold and wind was calm as the balloons ascend you get this butterfly in your stomach and it just overwhelms you. I was so taken aback I miss several great shots because I couldn't take my eyes off the beauty of the event.

About Bj Ray

Adamsville, AL

A very special teacher gave me my first camera and the only directions were to “show me what you see”. I grew up in a very small town and I didn’t think there was much to see. With her encouragement I found out there was. The things I saw everyday the railroad tracks a falling down house the ordinary things but from a different prospective and in a different light. To take a photo of something you pass by everyday, a building, a fountain or bed of flowers and cause the viewer to stop and look again. That is what makes a great photo to me.
