Jump pictures

John posted this photo recently and while I had seen some of the original ones by Phillippe Halsman (Aldous Huxley for one) I hadn't seen all of them...worth a look.

This mural on the wall next to a parking lot on the corner of Abbott and Pender Streets is a take off of the famous jump book by Philippe Halsman


A few from the link that I particularly liked:

 Jackie Gleason


 Sophia Loren


 Liberace


 Philippe Halsman (the photographer)


 Salvador Dali....probably my absolute favourite.
