Not Just a Jump, but Levitation

[SecularMotion]

Natsumi Hayashi does not call the photos she posts on Yowayowa Camera Woman Diary “jump shots.” A jump, she says, is composed of many movements. And those who go up must come down.

No, Yowayowa Camera Woman is not jumping.

She’s levitating.

1. ah, love it

From the article

Ms. Hayashi said she has difficulty thinking “like a grown-up.” She has fantasies of escaping from the confines of gravity. “I wanted to express myself as an honest person ‘whose feet are not firmly planted on the ground’ by shooting myself being free of the gravity of the Earth,” she said.

“When I am free of the gravity inside the picture, I feel free of any obligation to the society and live without being bound to many things.”

Wow. Very cool method of self expression. My take on it is that I would do Photoshop!

My daughter had her professional wedding photographs done in Mexico, and their favorite photo is when the photographer got them to jump at the beach. However, they do look like they are jumping, not levitating. And her hubby got a lot further off the ground than she did..........
