It is pleasant to see some old friends. I met a while ago my artist friend Juhani from the days of art school. We had few beers and had good laughs, talked about things and the exhibition which he was preparing. I’ve always enjoyed Juhani’s work so check them out live if you have a chance.

Of course some frames were shot and when talking about life and art, what is more accurate visual reference than the image of crucifixion, the core symbol of martyrdom? Every artist needs to have one taken. And by the way, it was Philippe Halsmans who made these jumping portraits as one of his trademarks. He also published Philippe Halsman’s Jump Book where he stated that his photos where studies in little known science of “jumpology.”
