I can't tell you how much I love these photos. Mostly because, when I look at them, I really feel like I levitated myself or that the balloon really lifted me off the ground or that magic just happened. It was kind of like that. The Ojai heat made me think these kinds of thoughts. Call it delirium. Call it heat stroke. Whatevs. It happened.
A big thank you to Myriah Bujak for being a champ through the heat. What a pro.
