jump!
I like things that are just beautiful. But things that are beautiful ánd tell a story are just a little bit more interesting. These amazing pictures from French photographer Denis Darzacq are an example of the latter.
Apparently it was made without digital trickery. Instead Darzacq hired dancers to do the jumps.
Gorgeous moments.
It also made me think of this music video from Canadian director Jaron Albertin, whose work we featured in our Eat My Video screening in South Africa a few months ago.
There you go, a little plug in there too. I’m starting to like this blogging stuff.

Funny, when I saw these pictures a few months ago I was wondering if a video with the same idea would be possible..?
I also thought the video Jaron Albertin did for Emily Haines was wonderfull! To be honest, it even got me buying her album.

What, no trickery? How cool is that? Reminded me of these: http://www.whitecube.com/artists/taylorwood/selfportraitsuspended/ but Sam Taylor-Wood was using wires that were Photoshopped away and knowing that about her work and Darzacq’s here actually changes the sentiment you get from viewing it. I would have said it doesn’t matter. But it does.
