"Some things drift beyond our reach, but never beyond our sight."
I took this picture while walking through Chinatown in San Francisco. I looked up and caught this moment—felt lucky for it, for some reason. The bulbous balloons, tangled against a net of branches, felt like a beautiful contradiction. I imagined a small child letting them go and, for a second, I felt sad.
Maybe it was an accident. Maybe it was on purpose. Maybe they were meant to be lost.
Floating away yet forever captured, Lost Balloons freezes a fleeting moment in time—a burst of color suspended against a muted cityscape. Shot on 35mm film, this photograph preserves the quiet contrast between movement and stillness, joy and nostalgia.
Part of The Simple Things series, this piece speaks to the beauty of impermanence—where even what is lost leaves an impression.
