Sometimes one gets very lucky. This day was special, the young woman as you can see is striking and of course, I asked for a portrait. Jenna who comes from Australia is delightful so the portrait was taken, and in all truth, not one of my best. As we look at the back of the camera, Jenna said "I like to jump". The backdrop was perfect - it took three attempts and this is the best. Then she was gone, what a girl and what a jump!
If you are interested in photos of people jumping, have a look at the work of Philippe Halsman (1906 - 1979). Halsman persuaded many of his famous subjects to jump, he is probably best known for his collaboration with Salvador Dali but he managed to persuade even the Duke and Duchess of Windsor to jump to his command - well worth investigating.
