But you’re willing to float, 2011

About two years ago I posted this image, sadly uncredited, finally I found a source who credited the photographer as Cristopher Wallish (here). Then the task was to locate this photographer. Not a piece of cake. I finally found him in this website: potoholik under the username prezntime. And at last, the image: here’s the link to source
Christopher Wallish :: But you’re willing to float, from the project Dark Was the Night 2, New Providence District, Bahamas, 04/02/2011

“¿Qué es el vértigo? ¿El miedo a la caída?
¿Pero por qué también nos da vértigo en un mirador provisto de una valla
segura? El vértigo es algo diferente del miedo a la caída. El vértigo
significa que la profundidad que se abre ante nosotros nos atrae, nos
seduce, despierta en nosotros el deseo de caer, del cual nos defendemos
espantados.” –

Milan Kundera [La insoportable levedad del ser]

Vintage photograph from the 1930′s
