Pow Wow Players #1
Bozeman, Montana
2015

Watching pow wow competitions all day for several day can get to be too much of a good thing, especially if you have a short attention span (think kids, and most social media addicts). I wasn’t bored with the dancing when I came across these kids on the edge of the arena, but watching them fill balloons with air and then letting them go shooting up into the air provided another kind of entertainment. They were obviously having great fun.

In this shot, while the three kids in the foreground were just getting ready to release a balloon, their friend in the background is waiting for his to come falling down after expelling all its air some ten or twelve feet above him.
