Christmas in July, Part One - Photography by Cassone's July 2010 Feature

My July 2010 photography feature celebrates Christmas in July by showcasing re-edited or never before released photos from this past December and January's features. In December, I featured the wonderful, masterful work of Paul Miller Designs & Decorations with Bob Drews and David Paul Miller, which ended up being awarded my Feature of the Year for the second year in a row. This time that honor was decided on by a panel of judges, which consisted of peer photographers, designers, a former feature of the year and other industry professionals. Then, in January, I featured the fascinating work of Pat & Carol's Blow-Up Air Balloon Collection from my visit to their home on Christmas day. Part One of the Christmas in July feature highlights Pat & Carol's amazing and fun blow-up air balloon collection.
