Whenever we’re on the road for one of our shenanigans, we hugely underestimate distances. So we find ourselves in the middle of nowhere, trying to get to where we need to be on time within speed limits (they’re not forgiving around here: this isn’t Italy any more).
So as we drove through Death Valley I was a bit bummed and as the light went down I started to be a bit bummed about it.
But Ale had to stop for a minute to check that the GoPro was doing ok, so I took advantage of that, jumped out of the car, placed the camera on the asphalt with a self timer, shot one frame and jumped back into the car.
Some days you just make do with what you get.
And when we got home I found out I was actually recorded by the GoPro while doing that:
I take pictures, I sleep too little.

This shot (and movie) reminds me about a jumping Pulcinella…
Non per togliere niente a lui, ma ho autoritratti di me che salto in quella posizione in mezzo a una strada dai primi anni 2000.
È un po’ il nostro clichè quando siamo in vacanza (esempio: http://www.nonsitornaindietro.com/blog/?p=51 oppure http://www.flickr.com/photos/rent-a-moose/70455168/in/set-1529622) o in un migliaio di altre occasioni (http://www.flickr.com/photos/rent-a-moose/1460018436/in/set-1529589)
E comunque niente che halsman non abbia fatto prima e meglio.
Si si ci mancherebbe… non era mica un’accusa di plagio, solo una malata associazione di idee
Vedere pulcinella saltare in mutande nel campo è un’esperienza che ti porti dentro (purtroppo)
Immensa stima.
Sometimes the best shots are the ones you don’t plan ahead. Pretty!
Lovely jumpy Bruko! :-*
I saw a shot and I thought what a nice picture. Then I read a story and exclamaited what a great shot.
