Commercialized

Forest Park, Saint Louis

Sure seems like everything is commercialized these days, doesn't it? I tried to shoot as many of my photos as possible without the sponsor side, but shot this one purposely to complain about the beauty of the balloons that is diluted by the banners, especially these that are sewn into the balloon. Some, like the Wonder Bread balloon you'll see later, actually do look great with the advertising.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

How do you think the organizers can make the event completely free to the public? I personally don't mind looking at some commercial banners if it means anybody, and I mean anybody can come see the race and not have to pay a thing.
