A jump lasts a second. The truth it reveals can last forever. Magnum photographer Philip Halsman believed that in the instant of a jump, the mask falls. You can't control your face, limbs, and balance all at once. He called it jumpology, a new science of truth through motion. Over 170 celebrities leapt for him. Grace Kelly, the Duke of Windsor, even Richard Nixon. Awkward and human for a split second. Marilyn Monroe jumped over 200 times in one session, trying to transcend the performance. Salvador Dalí, he jumped with three flying cats and tossed water. Surrealism mid-air. Each leap was a portrait of personality on the edge. One instant of vulnerability, of joy, of terrified release. And Halsman captured it forever. So, if you jumped for Myplayaphotographer, what would fall first? Your Grace or your guard?
