i have this fascination with hot air balloons. maybe because they seem so fantastical that it's hard to believe they actually exist in real life. i picked up these old photos (taken at a real balloon festival!) at an estate sale this weekend. the entire house was filled with piles and boxes of old photos + prints, memories and snapshots collected over an entire lifetime. kinda sad to think it was all being carried away by complete strangers. but kinda cool that a tiny piece of someone else's history will now be hanging on my wall.
ps. did you know that the inventors of the first hot air balloon, the montgolfier brothers, were owners of a paper mill and french paper makers!
