Randomly one day when I was 20, my good friend asked, ‘would you ever go skydiving?’ Not thinking too seriously about it, I said, ‘yeah!’ A few months later, she took me for my 21st birthday.
It was amazing. So amazing, that I went again. And again. And yesterday, again, again.
This time though, jump 4, I duct taped a camera to my hand. I am a photographer, after all. Had to get my own shots. Between stills, I shot some video…
Some notes to consider:
•Jimmy is 60. He rules.
•Eppie, the guy who saved my life, is a bomb diffuser in the Navy. Has done 3 tours and has jumped 1,657 times. He rules.
•John just breathes and he rules.
I’ll get back to the regularly scheduled programming and do a post with images soon. This was just too good, I had to share.
Liz - OMG!!!! I can’t believe you did that Jackie! Amazing. I’m jealous in the best way possible. AMAZING!!!!!!!
