Last year this guy name John Cavin brought his 'Purple People Eater' balloon to the Thurston Classic and I photographed him inside the balloon. I thought it went along with the name of the balloon. This year I was at the Night Glow and I got a chance to work the same picture. Its neat looking inside a balloon. I was inside one once and that too was vary cool. I noticed this balloon looked different on the inside and wasn't sure it it was because of lighting or if he had a new one made--or different things sewn into this one!!??? I linked last years post to this picture(click or double click picture to be taken to last years post. One of the great things about being a newspaper photographer is that I can get access like this and no one really tries to kick me out. I do try to stay out of the way too--but there are times I need to get in close--so I try to be aware and get out of the way when I need to. Meadville Tribune photograph by Richard Sayer.
