A Daily Thing

I found this on Matou en peluche (don’t you just love her blog name?).  I knew some of the photographs but had no idea who was behind them, or even that there was a book!  Philippe Halsman believed that asking a person to jump was the surest way to capture their essence in the picture.  I love that idea.  Although there will be no jumping for me since I strained the ligaments in my right ankle last Friday, during my little performance.
