Jeremy Green “Three Ring Hula Hula” 5/20/2024

A big traditional spring event in Austin is the annual kite festival in Zilker Park. Hundreds of all ages attend. True to form for my town, it’s all about laid back playfulness. This shot that I made there is a vignette of the innocent play that was going on all around me that day. I’ve never been able to do that with a Hula Hoop! That the black hoop on the ground in the background mimics the shadow of the one being used is a strange coincidence… or is it? This is the middle frame of a 3-frame series. That’s all I shot of this, but the metadata states that all 3 frames were made within one second. In other words: bam/bam/bam and on my way I go. Timing is everything…besides luck.
