parkour over here, please!

This
first
photo
is
very
much
a
favorite
of
mine.

Here
is
another,
featuring
the
same
graceful
young
man.

This
third
in
my
series
captures
the
bottom
half
of
a
backflip.


I've tried to be patient.
Truly, I have.
However, it's been a YEAR since I notified Lindsey Marr of the reward I wanted for backing his kickstarter campaign.
A year. Today.
In return for my support of the project, I was to receive an 8" x 10" print of the photograph of my choice. First, he traveled to several different locations, taking the photographs of folks running in the air. He then sent the survey for the backers, including me, to make our choices for the reward prints.
After going to his Flickr page, I was overwhelmed by the incredible photos! I was hard pressed to select just one... so I made several selections and asked that he make the final choice for me. I assured him I would be delighted with any of the ones I had "bookmarked" (see the post from April 17, 2012, "parkour here and there").
Partly, though, the reason I asked him to choose for me was this: in case he had a favorite that was being overlooked by others, I wanted him to feel free to select that photograph for me. I know that, as a blogger, not all posts are works of beauty. There are definitely some I consider jewels and I am always so pleased when anyone else also finds beauty in those words.
I believe all artists have favorites in their portfolio. If Lindsey felt that one of his favorites was being slighted by the public, this was his opportunity to let that one take precedence, to run into the spotlight, so to speak.
Instead, I had no reply from my email to him.
I have had no treat from him in my mailbox.
Drats.
So, I have selected a trio of favorites and shared them above.
Please enjoy.
