How to levitate

Natsumi Hayashi is one badass little Japanese photographer.  Okay, perhaps "badass" is a little strong, but she is at the very least clever.  Her recent series of gone-viral photographs show her apparently levitating in various settings - waiting for a train, at the edge of a bridge, in restaurants with a plate of food...  She often takes the photos herself with the camera on timer or will recruit a friend to snap shots.  It can take hundreds of "jumps" to get the shot just right - which is maybe easier if you are small and Japanese.  She also places herself in the air in precarious positions and I'm sure she has landed on her face on more than one occasion.  Nevertheless, this girl's got some mad hops.

Check out some of these cool photos.  I might just have to order a few prints.
