Total blogging kismet; I received an email from Steve Boyle this morning:
“i can’t for the life of me find that post about the guy that shoots floaters in Europe i think. There was a video showing the people doing
the moves on the street then being amazed by the pictures afterward…i
want to show the video to a friend. can you hook me up!?”
OK, um, Steve- you have some magical powers, dude. Because I never posted those floaters. I thought I was going overboard on that particular score.
These images, which were made by Denis Darzacq, have been sitting (or hovering) in my drafts folder for months. Above is the video to which Steve refers; I actually didn’t even know about that, but I put two and two together and found it on youtube. It’s pretty cool.
There are some great quotes from the dancers/jumpers (they all seem charmingly insecure about their performances, but then are thrilled by the final images)… my favorite:
“but when you see one frame alone, the rest doesn’t matter.”
Ah, photography is so awesome.
Below are the Darzacq’s floaters, rescued from wordpress drafts (these are from the series Hyper, 2007):
