Defying Gravity

Sunday, January 2, 2010

I took this shot today when I was out and around town with a friend. We went

on a mini photo shoot, and although it was fun, it was quite cold. This tricycle

is hung up on the bike shop and I wanted a picture of it from below. Of course,

my fellow photographer suggests that I lie down on the sidewalk (which

happens to be very nasty) and I take her advice. There were numerous

attempts at this shot, but I'm glad one actually turned out, as I not only

suffered the cold and the nasty sidewalk, but many pictures taken of me in said

position.

"Consulting the rules of composition before taking a

photograph is like consulting the laws of gravity before

going for a walk." ~ Edward Weston

50 Word Story:

Dreams of Zero Gravity

He'd watched the launches of numerous space shuttles ever since he was a

little boy, always curious and wondering what lay ahead of them, where they

were going, and why. He became one of those people in white spacesuits,

waving goodbye as they boarded the shuttle. One man defying gravity.
