i've been working on my fakefunk jump project for almost two years now. wherever i go, i take pictures of myself and my friends jumping. i find great joy in documenting such foolish acts with loved ones.
today, an internet stranger sent me a picture of his girlfriend jumping in belgium. he told me that he had found out about my site from the independent belgian newspaper, de morgen and he was kind enough to send me a scan of the article and even translated the dutch for me!

you'll jump, won't you?
with or without digital camera, more than one tourtist has sinned on photography. provide evidence to friend and enemy of a prominent presence in the world at the most interesting places has become a purpose on itself. we have nothing against that, especially when loads of idiot's snapshots fill a virtual photo album: discover the fakefunk jump project. based on a few simple rules we can see gallerys cataloged by land, represent the gravity defying man. read: jump for the birdie! everything has to happen with you own strength - you are not hopping on trampolines, neither shot as a living canonball. the result is a treasure of apparently levitated persons with the most bizarre expressions. the webmaster calls for the matter that the whole world population send in their own material. one restriction: no nudes!
i think it's great that people appreciate my site. it's rather silly but i am thrilled to bits that people want to be a part of something i created. the idea is not original but it was to me when i started jumping around in my photos. i'm just glad people are responding positively to something i am a part of.
