You should be relieved to know that based upon today’s first photo from 1956, balloons ARE part of the future. You just know this poor guy is sweating his $%# off. The open-mouthed gal in photo 2 is either shocked at the man in the spacesuit or she has just found out what Tomorrowland is going to look like in 50 years.

I have NEVER seen a photo of a balloon seller dressed as a spaceman. AWESOME picture!
ReplyDeleteThe second photo is nice too, a very unusual angle
Oh man, I'm dying to run over and buy something at that Hobbyland/souvenir area!
ReplyDeleteNice new site design.
ReplyDeleteAnd great shots as usual.
Thanks Tikimoose - figured it was time to bling things out a little. And ODF - you can probably find that stuff on ebay...for a small fortune of course.
ReplyDeleteDave- these shots are outstanding. I love the drinking fountain in the second photo. It is just kind of sitting there with just a pipe and a round bowl. I did not know the future was going to minimilast with such fixtures!
ReplyDeleteFANTASTIC!!!
ReplyDeleteYour site is always a treat! Thanks!
