Regular readers of this blog, (yes, they do exist) know how much I love balloons. I love them so much that I dedicated an entire post to them, a post dedicated to thin rubber bags inflated with air. You can see it here.
A couple of weeks ago I watched a French film called 'Le Ballon Rouge', it doesn't take a genius to work out what that translates to. The film is about a red balloon that follows a little boy around the streets of Paris. It's an absolutely delightful film, french children are so charming.
I had to complete a portraiture assignment for my Photojournalism class, so I went with the red balloon idea and took photos of my friend holding red balloons at The Rocks. Here's how they turned out:



And now, here are some more balloon photos, because frankly, who doesn't like a good balloon. I promise this will be the last balloon post for a while.

Note: According to bloglovin, I post 0 times per week. That's a lie! I've just been really busy haha. I have two weeks holidays commencing tomorrow afternoon! I'll be posting so frequently, bloglovin won't be able to keep up*.
