4/7: Hoppity

<

>

This was taken in Glasgow in 1993. It's a photo shoot - the chap on lying on the floor is a photographer. The idea is that the three guys crouched on the ground should leap in the air at the same time, each one appearing behind one of those pyramidal things on the ground, from the photographer's point of view. Though this sounds easy, it's actually incredibly difficult to get all three of them leaping at the right way at the right time with the right expressions on their faces. It was taking lots of tries and everyone was getting bored and pissed off.

The chap on the right was the trainer or coach for the three leapers; for some reason he suddenly crouched down and started hopping along like this.
