Skydiving in Kentucky (not me I was shooting)!

by Stan on May.18, 2010, under Stan Stuff

This past Saturday my friends decided to jump out of an airplane two miles above the Earth. My best buddy lives in Louisville, Kentucky and has always wanted to go skydiving. This past weekend he did it! Jenn, a young lady that works in his office and her friend Peggy, also had this desire to float down from the heavens hanging from a piece of brightly colored material by some string. Ronnie (my friend) called me last week explaining that he and a group had schedule tandem jumps for the weekend and asks me if I wanted to shoot this memorial event, of course I did. So I met them at the airport in Elizabethtown KY and after they had signed a zillion “not responsible for death, give your life away forms” they Jumped. As you can tell I’m a chicken and when I see Danger signs I pretty much walk the other way. However these folks overcame their butterflies and did what they set out to do. Below are some images from their accomplishment!
