funny – this is actually an artwork. yes, it has hung in the 12×12 space of Chicago’s MCA. i’m not sure if he’s a chicago artist or not, but hey – fail.
From the website: “Using myself as model and with the aid of climbing gear and other rigging, I photograph the body as it dangles from dangerous precipices or tumbles down flights of stairs. The captured gesture of the body is designed for plausiblity of action, which grounds the image in reality. However, it is the ambiguiy of the body’s position in space that allows and requires the viewer to resolve the full meaning of the photograph. Do we fall? Can we fly? If we fly then loss of control facilitates supreme control.”
I’ve seen a few of his pictures on this site (latecomer) – the ladder one comes to mind.
STOP SAYING IT IS FAKE! I KNOW I HAVE NEVER MET YOU IN REAL LIFE, BUT WHAT IS THE POINT OF SUBMITTING SOMETHING IF YOU ARE JUST GOING TO SAY THAT IT IS WHAT IT ISN’T(PROBABLY)?
PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS SAYING, “I AM SOOO SMART. I CAN TELL WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS FAKE. THIS IS STOPI… STURPEE… NOT SMART!”
OH WAIT… I KNOW… YOU ARE ALL GOVERNMENT AGENTS. WELL! AM I RIGHT? NO? NOOOOO, THAT IS JUST WHAT YOU WANT ME TO THINK! BUT I CAN BE SMART!
Oh wait, you just said it LOOKS like a fake, but not that it IS.
I gotta say, you are right.
This is photographer Kerry Skarbakka taking this fall. On April 21st her was interviewed by Matt Lauer on the Today show. Go the Today show link and look for Kerry Skarbakka and you will be amazed at his pictures.
I’d like to talk about how this picture is a photo by Kerry Skarbakka. his girlfriend and other photographers take pictures of himself falling off of things using a series of stunt wires and harnesses. this picture does NOT belong here. google his name and read up on him.

I think there’s also implicit fail in how his friend is photographing this instead of helping him. XD

I think it is fall.

anyways, i finally found the artist’s site. here’s some more:

you want “portfolio” and then the series titled “The Struggle to Right One’s Self.”
