Photo Love: Jump with no reservations

May 24, 2010

When you ask someone to jump for the camera the mask falls, so the real person appears.

Philippe Halsman

I love the girly and playful jump by the always lovely Audrey Hepburn above.  The lady is still there, but she is leaping without a care in the world – no poses, no thoughts about the perfect angle.

Life isn’t always picture perfect, but it can still be beautiful.  Here’s to celebrating those candid and true moments…

Lucky New Yorkers, there is an exhibit of famous figures jumping photographed by Philippe Halsman.  “Philippe Halsman: Jump” continues through Friday, May 28th at the Laurence Miller Gallery, 20 West 57th Street, Manhattan; , laurencemillergallery.com.

    I love the quote at the beginning of the post. Audrey Hepburn is wonderful, and I’ve read a biography about her written by her son and she seemed like just the sweetest thing ever!

    Love this picture of her.

    Love,
    Rachel
