"For this installation at Young Projects in Los Angeles, Michael Haussman shot five different subjects on a trampoline and gave each a specific prop and background. As the artist says, "to the normal viewer, a person jumping on a trampoline is just a figure moving up and down and their expression is a blur of motion. To capture this action and emotion, all the subjects were shot at 2,000 frames per second, while engaged with one simple prop. Afterward, the body is completely steadied in a postproduction process known as 'tracking' (or motion stabilization software). This process takes the subject and steadies them in the frame so that they are no longer moving up and down. All that moves is their skin, cellulite, muscles, and weight of their respective bodies. The overall effect is somewhat disturbing: we see a singular subject who does not move, and yet the way in which his or her skin moves seems to suggest a kind of time-lapse aging, where they suddenly go from 18 years-old to 55 in a matter of seconds."
Indeed, to some viewers the implied aging that occurs on screen might appear like a special effect or CGI—where soft legs suddenly become riddled with cellulite, or a face suddenly gains wrinkles and bags under the eyes. And yet no effects were applied to the figure at all. Everything that is seen on screen is entirely due to the effects of gravity on the body. Nothing more, nothing less. As the figure hits the bottom of the jump, wrinkles and abnormal shapes appear. But as they rise to the top of the jump, they seem to become younger, fresher and more buoyant."

I was all set to argue that a falling object in sub-orbit acted on exclusively by earths gravitational constant at normal (non-vacuum) atmospheric pressure doesn't fall at even close to 1/10 the rate of 2,000 feet per second.

Oops...wrong field...

Photography...frames per second.

Pretty interesting photography...

I'm thinking though we are not witnessing gravity alone, rather the action of the potential energy in the springs converting to negative kinetic energy as it rapidly decelerates the falling body.

I wonder how many G's one generates on a trampoline.

Wow… I'm impressed.
86 is no longer talking about anuses and anal sex.

He musta finally found a prostitute who took pitty of him and agreed to fvck him.
 
This is not the forum for GB nonsense, hssh.

Well then:
Why won't you pm your creepy friend, asking him to stop stalking me with xenophobic and sexually inappropriate comments then?

Of course you won't. You have no interest in that. Ain't you one of those mean gurrls who joined him and giggled at his creepy attacks on me, in the past? Or attacked me when I tried to get rid of him?

And trust me, if his creepinness continues to cyberstalk me, you'll see more such posts in the HT forum.
 
Nor is the GB.
Ain't you high and mighty.
How come you never made such comments when Emerson engaged in countless sleazy, sexist, homophobic or xenophobic attacks against me?

You people are so transparent in your partisanship:

It's ok for one of your ilk to harass another poster for an entire year. You either giggle with him, or look the other way.
But when the other poster tries to turn the tables on the harasser, you bring up your Bibles and start quoting the Scripture.

Dude, you are over the rainbow crazy.

Log out and seek professional help. At the very least, open the front door and go swallow a couple mouthfuls of outside air, get some perspective on your life.
 
Lustrous One, I keep forgetting to mention to you that I like your signature on you.

It fits wonderfully.
 
I don't know what you're talking about, hssh, all I see is you bumping all of Emersons old threads, which would indicate to anyone reading them that it is YOU cyberstalking him.

If anyone thought any of your moral outrage was real
perhaps they would attempt to defend you, but honestly it's difficult to convincingly portray onesself as a victim when the behaviours tell another story.
Well they did try to defend me. But only those who matter; not people with Your values. And how perceptive of you :

Of course I LOVED seeing those constant, lovely references to my sexuality , and those graphic derrogatory pictures that he keeps posting. For an entire fucking year. I must have one of those "humilliation fetishes".

Or maybe I like my men stupid (as illustrated by Emerson's narrow range of interests. Plus other than trolling them, he never engages in sociological or ethical debates in the GB. For a reason: the very few times he tried that, he got things completely wrong and made an ass of himself. The essence of anti-intellectualism is that 'those who can't, attack').
Or maybe he looks like such a sexy beast, so his personality and IQ no longer matter and I'm dying to jump his bones Lol


And btw: that's exactly how domestic abusers talk: "She loved it", "She was asking for it… "
What a misogynistic mean gurrl you are…

Sigh

Haven't been on this site in months. I've got quite a bit of stress going on IRL right now, figured I'd see what's going on in here.

Log on, see an interesting subject line and read Em's post. I think to myself, "oh, how interesting". Then I see I've already posted on this thread.....3 FUCKING years ago??????

Oh, it's been bumped by someone who wants to complain about how someone is treating them? Like a little 3rd grader? Great!!

Listen, Hashtag....I don't know you, never seen any of your posts other than this one. But I'm hear to tell you, you look like a whiney little bitch! Don't like somebody, fucking block them, asshole!!! Simple. It's not rocket science.

Thanks for ruining a rare day off, cocksucker! Now, because I don't like you, I'm blocking you! See how easy?? Fucking moron!!!!
 
Just an update:

Even after I skyped with a trusted forum member and I uploaded heaps of pictures and no one else doubts my identity, Emerson is still stalking me with all sorts of sleazy trailer-trash type inuendoes (most of them involving anal sex).

Under the same pretense that he's trying to out a "racist female impersonator", and with the full endorsement of a few other GBers (who giggle at his stalking and insist that I "love it" whenever I'm trying to shake him off my back).

I'm not going to leave the GB because racists and white trash like you want me to do it, Emerson. The other posters make it so worthwhile for me.
