I think we’ve all, at some point in our lives, wished for the power of flight. After waking from a dream, perhaps, where flight came effortlessly. Or while admiring an eagle’s soar, with just a little tinge of envy. Or maybe during a particularly rushed school morning, when walking to the bus stop just wasn’t going to cut it.

Well, what if we could fly? Or what if you found that you could fly, suddenly, one day? That would certainly be a story worth telling. This week I have for you: three people, mid-flight. Three photographs of people in mid-flight, no less. Maybe there’s hope yet, after all.
