What may at first appear to be abstract paintings are actually my close-up photographs of some of Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade balloons’ surfaces, shot in Macy’s balloon storage facility.

For this commission, I photographed small parts of twenty of the famous balloons that have appeared in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade over the years, focusing on the beauty of their details.

I’m incredibly grateful to Macy’s for inviting me to contribute to the celebrations leading up to the 100th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and honored to see my photographs on display in all Macy’s stores across the country.
