Climbing II

The Essence of Bouldering.

I wanted to create an image that captured the focus, determination, emotion, strength, adrenaline-all the feelings a climber gets when sending a hard boulder problem. This image was created with three different images-all photographed in the same morning in Santa Barbara, CA. I found out when the train comes through S.B. at sunrise-and waited. It had to be a location where the tracks curved, as the road did in the orignal bouldering shot. I then grabbed a friend and had him hang off another boulder. Three images into one- my interpretation of bouldering at its finest. I wish this shot could really happen!
