What a nice shot, Joshi. Didn’t know there were balloon men on the streets of Mumbai. Absolutely love how you capture him looking up – he looks very happy with the balloons :)
Love the self-shadow that looks like a balloon left forsaken on the ground whilst he looks upward at this cascading bouquet of happiness.
Love balloons!
Indeed, your images resonate… Went through your Mumbai album and very much enjoy ‘getting off’ on the memories they bring back. I was there 1970-75. Thanks! Who can set up a website like yours for me?
I love this Joshi! There is something about balloons, their color, the way they float that can be just magical and lets us forget-if only for a moment–daily life and to-do lists.
I have always found the balloon sellers in Mumbai to bring a spot of cheer in what often feels a colourless, drab day. Your picture captures that same sentiment:)
The image reminded me of the e.e.cummings poem, In Just. I had the pleasure of reading the words again – except for the balloons there is no connection to your photo. However, both are beautiful.
I do think it’s a shame though that as I was uploading on my PC, my Internet connection was slow and I had to sit looking at the advertisements on you blog which loaded before your photograph did. I waited because I always enjoy your photography, the photograph didn’t display, just the ads. I had to come back when I’d finished and my Internet connection was back. I came back because as I’ve said I enjoy your photography. I didn’t enjoy the ads very much. Just a thought. I’ve resisted ads on my blog now for a long time. I will continue to resist I think.
This has such wonderful framing. I love the light, and how the man could almost be just another car…except he has a bunch of wonderful balloons floating over him. Lovely.
now that’s beautiful!
thank you :)

Love how he’s looking up at it and not at the next prospective customer.

Well captured. (I don’t want to imagine the traffic jams in Bombay?)
:(
Why do ballons “carry” so much magic?
Shape? Colour? Flying way high?
:)
thank you :) balloons look like they are filled with freedom :)
They are. Probably why little children find them so… fascinating. Have a nice week-end.
yeah and wishing you also a great weekend :)
Balloons…
:)
Fly! Fly!
:)
Love the light and the soft shadows on the balloons and the upward gaze of the seller…
thank you :)
Superb composition.
thank you :)
Never see balloons in this shape before!
So something new for you ;)
I have always found the balloon sellers in Mumbai to bring a spot of cheer in what often feels a colourless, drab day. Your picture captures that same sentiment:)

Hehe thank you so much :)

Love it! I haven’t seen balloons that shape in years. You have captured a quiet moment in the midst of the hussle and bussle.

It has a very surreal feel to it. Love it!
thank you :)
Beautiful! The colorful balloons look very pretty in the black and white background
thank you :)
As always. Fantastic.

I’m intrigued by the shape of the balloons, and the way their colors almost make a picture-within-a-picture. Great like always. Thanks for sharing.
thank you :)
I love this photo Joshi! :)
thank you :)

Thank you for the feedback. I might remove the ads after few months.
Really love this!
thank you :)
Wonderful shot.
thank you :)
However do you find so many fascinating shots??
Honestly, I’d love to hear about your process. Bravo, as usual. :)
I like to walk a lot to find something interesting. Sometimes I will get something and sometimes will end up with nothing ;)
I completely understand that. :)
Nevertheless: your batting average is pretty good! ;)
hehe thank you :)
