jump shots
at our house, we have a tradition for taking jump shots. it's not a long tradition, but it's a tradition just the same. it started with some very creative people at some workshops that i held around the world during the course of 2007. at every workshop, we had the whole group do a jump shot. here's an example of one of the best ones:
here we had our own personal professional photographer (who used to be a BBC producer) take the shot, but what we usually did is set the camera (or a number of cameras) to take a series of rapid-fire shots, then put it on a timer and run back into the picture. check out the height some of us got (i'm in the middle and a little to the left in a green shirt). when it's just kids in the shot, an adult usually takes the shots on a rapid fire setting, like i did with this one of sabin above or my sister did with the one of sabin and her cousins at navy pier from the other day.
since you guys are a whole crew all in one, you should really try it. i think you'll find it's pretty addictive. and you'll be amazed to see how high you can jump!

ReplyDeletei too know how addictive this can be. This is me and my wife and my bridal party at my wedding May 17, 2008.
I love these pics. The logistics of it all should send the family into quite the chaotic tizzy - but may be worth a try?!
ReplyDeleteYou really got some air on that jump huh :)
What a great idea. It looks like everyone in the pic was smiling and if that is one outcome...it's a good one.
ReplyDeleteThe only jump shot I know is on a basketball court. This is one the whole family can enjoy. Thanks for the idea.
