Down He Goes into the Grand Canyon!

Down He Goes into the Grand Canyon! by Marc Shandro.
More of my Grand Canyon photos can be found in my Grand Canyon set.

I revisited some photos from a year and half ago from a trip that Aaron and I took together and found this little gem. I can't remember where he landed, but I'm sure it was somewhere interesting.

Utterly exhilirating -- defying gravity in the Grand Canyon, of all places on Earth -- in a raw display of pure theatrics that surely seized the heart of his mother. Aaron's blood is turbocharged with his father's trust in Nature ... human & otherwise. Imagine having these pictures in a scrapbook of your formative years. They'd brace you up the rest of your life. Faved breathlessly.

I think this photo is a

Okay, where's the shot of him landing? or did this end badly? :-)

Yes, that would have been a nice way to finish the sequence, but on the other hand maybe an unfinished ending leaves a bit more to the imagination... Did he land easily, or is he lying in a heap down there somewhere?! :)

I sure hope he isn't! If he is, then who have I been talking to this past year? An Aaron imposter? :O

I think the "Aaron in motion" images should be a, ahem, running exhibit...similar to the painted cows in Chicago or bears in Berlin....just a continual stream of him airborne in odd and interesting locales ;-) Where's Waldo meets Lindbergh...
Great set.

photoshop right? i just visited the grand canyon and this picture gives me the total creeps. this looks like my worst nightmare. you must have nerves of steel to have watched this if it's real.

This is 100% real -- no Photoshop, just good jumping skills! I guess one person's "nightmare" is another person's excitement. I really enjoyed watching Aaron jump over all these challenges, reminding me of my own jumping challenges once upon a time.

Right on, Aaron, you've already leaped to Page 33 in the rumpus room. Your balance is phenomenal to maintain this precarious pose for such a long time. No wonder you've drawn the attention of more than thirteen THOUSAND viewers.
