Jump Sundays in My City   Jump!

This post is inspired by MISSion Amy K.R., one of the WBEZ (Chicago Public Radio) blogs, where they conspired to save summer by making people jump at the same time on one designated night and encouraged people to stage their own gallery shows a la Philippe Halsman’s iconic photography book/exhibit Jump, and indeed, to Jump for Joy!

Naturally, I am recycling photos we took at the Outer Banks…

These are amazing. In fact, they are so fab I’m tempted to go to the beach this weekend for one last hurrah before the school year starts and have everyone do one big good bye summer jump.

I love your photography! I was just talking to some friends Friday night about the fact that I wanted to escape to OBX for a week. They laughed at me for not taking a 2 day weekend for the past month and a half. Seeing those reminds me what I am missing. They look so happy! This means you were truly happy while taking the photos. I like that!!!

You should definitely check out OBX esp. the northern part where there really are not that many people around. Oh heck. You deserve a week just doing NOTHING after the hellish weeks you have been thru at work!

Nikon D40. Someone told me, oh, you should definitely get this other lens! Then I found out it costs almost 1K! Let me take some decent pictures first to prove I even deserve this camera
