Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner, with the help of Red Bull Stratos,  will soon try and break the world record for highest sky dive. He will attempt a 23 mile free fall from a pressurized capsule while wearing only a spacuit. In doing so, he will become the first person to break the sound barrier in free fall and will risk having the water in his body vaporize! No one knows what will happen, but people are sure to find out.

Ziegfeld Girls were the showgirls from Florenz Ziegfeld's theater shows known as the Ziegfeld Follies, which were based on the Folies Bergère of Paris.

This set features the portraits of Alfred Cheney Johnston, who is known for taking portraits of the Ziegfield girls as well as other actors/actresses of the 1920s/1930s. If you are interested in the stories of these girls or want to see more portraits of Ziegfield girls, you should get Jazz Age Beauties: The Lost Collection of Ziegfeld Photographer Alfred Cheney Johnston from Amazon.

You should also check out First Decade of Decadence by Esteban Palazuelos and Vanity Fair 1953 Photography by Mark Shaw. You can definitely see the inspiration they drew from Johnston's photos.

Bodyscapes was Jean-Paul Bourdier's first book that "contained vibrant creative artwork with painted bodies moving through some of the most diverse landscapes on earth." All of his photos are staged and shot in analog. The flying bodies, cliff paintings and landscapes are all shot without the use of digital technology.

You can help him fund his second book Leap into the Blue on Kickstarter. It will dive deeper into "our beingness, creating 'fantastic' interventions within the landscape that challenge viewers to question the lines we draw between mind and body; human and nature; figure and landscape; dream and reality." Or you can buy Bodyscapes on Amazon.
