parkour here and there

Begun as a hobby and developed into a passion, "The Freedom To Run" encourages its viewers to take leaps of faith into... thin air. I know nothing of parkour, but even my klutzy self can see the grace in the act of escaping the earth if only for a moment, the breeze of your passing ruffling your hair and bussing your cheek.
As a supporter of the project, if only in a small way, I now have the good fortune of choosing one of the images to hold in my hands, post onto my walls or capture in a frame. But which??? I did narrow the range of images to these few. Any suggestions? Me, neither. I pared the list down a little more - to five choices - then sent my wish-list to the artist. I'm willing to accept whichever image may come my way - I have wall space waiting to be filled with the catching of air.

Today, I chose this project to fund. Why?
Well, for variety, really.
Kickstarter offers thirteen categories of creative quests for angel's dollars. Those categories are: art; comics; dance; design; fashion; film & video; food; games; music; photography; publishing; technology; and theatre. They even show you, with a pie chart, the types of projects you have funded and the quantities for each type.
I had not yet funded someone's photography works.
Okay, this one sounded interesting and concerned a topic of which I knew nothing: parkour.
The artist was even doing some shots in Georgia, so that made it of more interest to me.
"Freedom To Run" seems to capture movement in a living way, too.
So... it really was just that simple, this choice.
I'll let you know how it turns out.
