... I'd certainly agree although I have to say I think it's because jumping is just plain 'ol child-like fun.
.... and who doesn't need a little more of that?
I feel a another little photo project brewing....

Art & Inspiration: Jumpology
I'm incredibly charmed by the decades old work of LIFE magazine photographer Philippe Halsman.... wherein he asked many of the world's most notable personalities at the time "May I take a picture of you jumping?" In his theory of 'jumpology'; he believed that you could tell more about a person 'mid-air' than when their 'face-mask' was on during a typical photo.

I was just looking at some of the Jumpology pictures the other day after coming across this project here: http://www.gabrielegalimberti.com/projects/jump/
ReplyDeleteBoth them make me feel like jumping around. =)
Sounds Iike a project we'll need to see! I just did a little jump when Darin found a sweet Easter treat in our door this morning. You are too kind. We thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteLove this! We should all start jumping!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun happy post! ( all of yours are, btw) and I remember those Life magazines, and how gorgeous and big the photos were. I need some more fun, never thought about jumping :)
