On Friday afternoon I had the pleasure of attending the swearing-in ceremony for Justice Judith Nakamura at the Balloon Fiesta grounds in Albuquerque. That location was chosen because Justice Nakamura is a licensed hot-air balloon pilot.
Here are some photos I took on my iPhone (and once you see them, you’ll understand why I don’t try to make my living as a professional photographer!):
