A boy jumps on a trampoline. Then descends – see the dancing hair. With spirit floating, he shoots up once more, his body climbing. Then it slows. Then it stops. His world disappears momentarily – nothing – just stillness in time. It is captured. Then he starts his descent. Down and down, the trampoline reloads. Only to relaunch a moment later. Shades of grey animate this universal play, as the lightness of being is carried in the boy’s upgoing hair and softest tones. Here the ‘big picture’ is offered - that chiropractic can do miracles. The impossible is considered, the uncurable child is relit with the flame of hope. The helpless parent may feel that warmth – with grace, anything is possible...

Artist’s note:
Lots of movement here, so fast shutter speed again. Using a short focal length (by zooming in), we soften the focus of the background, creating a dreamlike backdrop, particularly with the grass textures and tones. The plan was to suspend the hair, without overdoing it and getting an ‘electric shock’ effect. I also wanted to crop the top of the head to generate a ‘snap-shot’ quality, again conveying motion. Some artists would say, “Get rid of those distracting objects in the background.” A reasonable point. But I chose an angle to include the garage and the edge of the cubby house, as it conveys the intimate ‘backyard’ feel. I am happy with the outcome. When scanning the prints, there were some dust marks. Clearing these was the only post-production required. On the first shoot, take your time with exposure, aperture, position, and framing, so there are fewer headaches later. PC
