Daniel Gordon:  The flying man series

*

Between 2001 and 2004, on the snowy fields 

in New York’s Hudson Valley and the rocky coasts

of the Bay Area in Northern California,

photographer Daniel Gordon learned to fly

if only for 1/125 of a second.

Using a camera mounted on a tripod,

Gordon frames his picture.

He then runs out onto the landscape and

launches himself into the air,

while an assistant snaps the shutter.

The images in Flying Pictures are at once pastoral landscapes

and documents of a performance.

Only after considering them for a while,

does the thought occur that their fleeting bliss

was swiftly met with physical doom— a crash back to Earth.
