Kenny Britt tried to make an acrobatic catch.
I blogged about this over at the Music City Miracles blog.
I love this picture of my dad at 23, fishing, and smiling with the wind in his hair. I found this among the collection of family photos that my cousin Bob Fitterman put together a few years ago, and it is dated August 5, 1941. I have often thought doing more with the photo but, the original version was very badly tilted. (Mind you, my father seems to be standing in a rowboat, and so was the unknown photographer, but still. . .) My father was born on August 28 in 1918, so I decided his birthday was a good day to try to rescue this snapshot. When I rotated the photo to straighten the background, too much of the figure would be cut off if I cropped it. I used Painter to add pixels to make digital canvas bigger on the left side, and then used cut-and-paste to create more background on the left and also slightly increased the line of the shoulder by drawing into the photo. Then I was able to straighten and crop the photo without cutting off the figure. The result as not perfect, but much better. Then I used iPhoto to do some basic cleanup, and here it is. (I also used Painter to create a digitally modified version with color, and I plan to post that tomorrow). Anyway, I am glad to have this image. It's the only picture I have seen of my dad fishing (although that years later he sometimes went fishing with my Uncle Bob in San Isabel and sometimes my cousin and I would tag along). I would love to know more about the 1941 photo. A companion photo shows him in a rowboat with a friend, and a third person took the photo Who were these friends, and where were they fishing? This is just a year before my dad enlisted, so I would guess maybe somewhere in Brooklyn or Long Island? Maybe Central Park? There is a lot I don't know. But what I can clearly recognize in that photo are his smile, his easy temperament, and his sense of fun. He was ready to laugh and always willing to have fun. Once, at Pueblo City Park (I was maybe 8 or 10) he showed me how he could do a flip on acrobatic rings, and wearing a sport coat and tie, turned completely upside-down, not worried about his car keys falling on the ground. He kept his sense of enjoyment throughout his life, whether he was fishing, rollerskating, or later, just taking a walk. His memory is a blessing, as was his life.

A flip off of a wall is always impressive. Next time I have the opportunity to capture this, I'll use a faster shutter. :) Still, I really like this picture.

In Crash of the Titans, players fight a nefarious plot hatched by Crash's arch nemeses Neo and Nina Cortex to mutate the local creatures into titanic abominations. Using Crash's legendary mix of outrageous antics and daredevil bravado, players "hijack" enemies to take control of their action and use their fearsome powers against all manner of enemies. "Jack to Attack!" – Control, play and battle as 15 enemies, including titanic creatures such as Scorporilla, Ratcicle, Magamadon and Shellephant. While in control of a monster players can throw toxic stink bombs, call lightning down from the sky, fire lasers beams from their eyes or even impale enemies with a massive scorpion tail - use all of the creatures' special abilities to defeat Neo and Nina Cortex. Crash now has a powerful acrobatic fighting system that includes punches and flying kicks, multiple attacks and special counter moves. Players can power-up skills to unlock new attacks and blazing combos. Crash can now interact with his world in totally new ways. Players can wall-run, swing from ropes and flip off springboards – Crash can even toss Aku Aku on the ground to surf, skate, grind and shred. At any point in the game, a second player can join in the fun and play as Carbon-Crash to help unleash total chaos. In a totally innovative twist to co-op action gaming, Crash can even jack Carbon-Crash (or vice versa) for some hysterical Crash "jacked"-Crash mayhem. release in 2007.
Mimbre performing on the High Street at the Stockton International Riverside Festival in 2009. What a wonderful performance these three ladies produced which had the audience totally captivated for the 40 minute show.
The performance was a combination of dance, acrobatics, mime and drama and is described as such in the SIRF brochure:
Mimbre - 'Until Now'
Mimbre's new show is a beautifully improbable acrobatic adventure. A poetic universe is fashioned from joyful flips and harmonious balances that speak of journeys, goodbyes and astonishing feats of friendship.

The image does not require special glasses to view in 3D. View the image as you would a magic eye poster. Relax your eyes until the two pictures merge into one and you will see it in 3D.
The image was VERY hard to get. On the camera I use there is considerable lag between when you press the shutter and the camera takes the picture because it has an extra time consuming step to go through that non 3D cameras don't have to.
So it was very difficult to estimate when a performer was going to be in the middle of a flip at the time the camera would capture the image. Still, after many tries I was able to get a few shots of the performers in mid leap.
Parkour (French: [paʁkuʁ]) is an athletic training discipline or sport in which practitioners (called traceurs) attempt to get from point A to point B in the fastest and most efficient way possible, without assisting equipment and often while performing artistic-gymnastic maneuvers.[5] With roots in military obstacle course training and martial arts, parkour includes running, climbing, swinging, vaulting, jumping, plyometrics, rolling, and quadrupedal movement—whatever is suitable for a given situation.[6][7] Parkour is an activity that can be practiced alone or with others, and is usually carried out in urban spaces, though it can be done anywhere.[8][9] It involves seeing one's environment in a new way, and envisioning the potential for navigating it by movement around, across, through, over and under its features.[10][11]
Although practitioners of Parkour often perform flips and other acrobatic movements, these are not considered a part of Parkour proper.[12]
The practice of similar movements had existed in communities around the world for centuries,[13] notably in Africa[14] and China,[15] the latter tradition (qinggong) popularized by Hong Kong action cinema (notably Jackie Chan) during the 1970s to 1980s.[15][16][17] Parkour as a type of movement was later established by David Belle when he and others founded the Yamakasi in the 1990s and initially called it l'art du déplacement.[18][19] The discipline was popularised in the 1990s and 2000s through films, documentaries, video games, and advertisements.[13][20][21] (from wikipedia)
