Amazing photographer

I am sure you are simply stunned seeing this guy standing on this solitary rock IN the Grand Canyon. The canyon’s depth is 900 meters here. The rock on the right is next to the canyon and safe.

After the sun set behind the canyon’s horizon he packed his things (having only one hand available) and prepared himself for the jump. This took about 2 minutes.
At that point he had the full attention of the crowd.


After that, he jumped on his thong sandals…
The canyon’s depth is 900 meters here.

We’ve come to the end of this little story. Look carefully at the photographer. He has a camera, a tripod and also a plastic bag, all on his shoulder or in his left hand. Only his right hand is available to grab the rock and the weight of his stuff is a problem.


He lands low on this flip flops both his right hand and right foot slips away…
At that moment I take this shot.


He pushes his body against the rock.
He waits for a few seconds, throws his stuff on the rock, climbs and walks away
