Natsumi Hayashi
"Yowayowa Camera Woman"

I've been thinking of ways of exploring and expanding my photography. One way is, of course, to travel and shoot more, which is how I'll be trying to post some more on the 'wandering' aspects to my travel and shooting. The other is about looking and admiring other photographers, drawing inspiration and energy from their endeavors in the photographic arts. And so, to kick that off, I present the first photographer of note, Natsumi Hayashi.
Natsumi is a photographer in Japan that levitates. She sets up her camera in various scenes to make it appear as if she were floating above the scene. Her scenes are well-chosen, always unique, and so it's as much a slice of her daily life (on the train, in a restaurant, walking down the street) as it is about her ability to levitate. One of the fantastic parts is that the images appear very natural. While she has to jump to make the photograph, she rarely if ever looks like she just jumped. It appears as if she is quite literally hovering above the scene, a couple inches or a foot above the pedestrian ground.
Her images are a streak of whimsy in photography, delightful scenes from life and the thought of escape as well as the beautiful execution of each photograph. I've been following her for just under a year or so, and each creation has been a delight. Float on!
