Hot Air Balloons

Shrimpoe really wants to ride in one. While considering the adventure I realized I'm kind of a scaredy cat. My terms are as follows: must ride with a trained hot air balloonist, must wear parachute, can't be higher than 1 mile from land, although if that's not enough distance to activate parachute I will reconsider... Although, now I've gotten to thinking... If it's not so timid to throw oneself onto the ground with basically the risk of activating what could be the top of a hot air balloon overhead to save your life, why not drift comfortably in a basket dragged along by fully developed parachute? I'm in.

About Me

My Photo
I'm an LA transplant now living in Manhattan. I used to take too many camera phone photos despite never having purchased an additional memory card. That was the main form of photo evidence for my "haciendo" and "viendo" until Kristen, an LA based friend I share the having of a knife tattoo behind my ear with, gave me her old Fujifilm camera, which has since DIED. Kristen is now removing her knife tattoo from behind her ear, while mine is still in tact, for better or for worse. The camera died on my first day in Lisbon. The last image it captured was a collection of traditional blue & white ceramic wares displayed in a storefront window. Whatever I was trying to photograph afterwards wasn't worth it. I write and produce film projects, have a dangerous predilection for vintage Robinson Golluber scarves and this blog serves as a window to everything else I do when I'm not satisfying those first two passions. I'm trying to blog more and tweet less @annabelleqv. What about you?
