Day 637 of 365 More.

One of my all-time favorite photographers on flickr is Jack Scoresby. So when we proposed the copycat challenge for the 365 Days podcast, I knew that I’d probably pick one of his. Thinking about it last night, I decided to try my hand at one of my all time favorite shots of his.

I think he did a better job than I did. I should have shot from above like he did. The angle is more dynamic.

Since I managed to survive, I guess I could go back outside and shoot it again. But really, it kinda smarts, and I’d rather not.

    Sweet!

    Very cool! But you know it only hurts when you hit the pavement, other than that it should be pretty painless! Looks like you cracked the street when you landed!


    Seen in my contacts’ photos. (?)

    @Mikey aka DaSkinnyBlackMan: thanks.

    @lrayholly: yeah. Our street kinda sucks. And If I knew how to fall into the middle of the street without hitting the pavement, I totally would.

    @VAN JOHNSON PHOTOGRAPHY: it’s not worth living in the suburbs for one shot.

    I’m surprised you didn’t roll all the way down the hill….

    @VAN JOHNSON PHOTOGRAPHY: I beg to differ. Reporting from Trafford, PA.
