Jeté

she exists between sky and earth
like we all do
but with more grace

~ V.

I am blessed as a photographer to have a young friend who will leap perfectly, over and over, on cue, and exactly on the mark of where you asked her to leap. Thank you H (dancer of dancers) for this photo.

Amazing. What would it feel like to levitate? I wonder.

Thanks everyone!!!

dogsbody - *grin* I love that shot of yours. Kids just look good in the air.

Distant Eye – Remember those white jet backpacks from the 70’s...? Then there’s DaVinci’s flyer... Oh, and bungee jumping - no, that’s more about falling... not levitating. Actually now that I think about it, flying is not levitating either... There is a difference there like the difference between thinking and dreaming... Yes, I wonder what it would be like to levitate too. I think I would like it so long as I stopped going up before hitting the oxygenless part of the atmosphere.

jurV – Is that what you gave your wife for Cmas...? ...A box full of grade-A compliments guaranteed to bolster her spirits at any time. ‘-} I think we earthlings are curious about the whole gravity thing because we always seem to have to struggle against something to be truly happy.

Sarchi – I *...might...* have liked it better if I had lowered the camera more. There is no guarantee I *...would...* have liked it better. I know like her suspended between earth and sky. If I were lower, she would have been above the earth and in the sky, which could have been impressive, but that is done a little more often.

I think you should have asked her to jump four inches higher and eight inches to the left. Otherwise, pretty good.....

Vanita says:

*snort*

After we finished these shots, I asked her if she could jump across a couple dimensions, but she said

"42"

and ran off to play with the other kids.

Interesting. Both feet leave the ground when she's in full gallop!

Vanita says:

Luna - This was a joint ad-venture to be sure!!! '-}

OneEighteen - lol... To paraphrase one of the Shrek movies, you sir are like an onion, in nature possessing many layers.

Regarding this lovely young woman... She, like all good dancers, even *walks* with a certain defiance of gravity. '-}

Isn't it wonderful that a pic lies dormant for months on end and then suddenly appears on your comments screen, reminding you of past glories......thanks for the reminder, OneEighteen !
