JOIE DE VIVRE

why haven't i noticed this before? there are a gazillion images out there about balloons. i make a gazillion images with balloons in them. what's so interesting about balloons anyway? sure, they're pretty. and sure, they're floaty. and of course, they're so cute with their stupid egg shape. oh wait, i think i just answered my own question.

pause.

anyway, after thinking about it for three seconds, i think i absolutely agree that there is something that's attractive about balloons. they remind us of our childhood memories, or the memories that we want to have. there is something about the sight of them tugging away from our grip, just waiting for the --oops-- and up, up, up they'll fly. and admit it, all human beings are drawn to anything that flies (well, anything that's pretty and flies. i'm not too sure i like mosquitoes and dusts).

few of my favorite images of balloons:
a balloon stuck on a branch. red balloons--any red balloon. a hand, letting go of balloons. a child running with balloons streaming out behind her. a balloon carrying a note. balloons high up on the sky. a balloon and a needle. balloons with candies inside them.
