When Scott Wyden posted a Google invite event for a press event at the 32nd annual New Jersey Festival of Ballooning I said yes immediately.
Although I had to be at my client's office at 8AM, I decided that I could arrive just before 6:30AM, snap some photos, and be back on the road by 7AM.
But as the date approached, I realized that attending would mean getting up at 5AM. This is 1 hour earlier than I normally get up. It also meant I wouldn’t have any time to eat a proper breakfast or do my normal coffee ritual. I almost backed out. I am glad I did not.
I got some great photos.
