I realized while I was doing this yesterday that it's pretty much a corpse of Caitlin's walking in sync with heartbeats idea. But instead I'm retracing steps so many have taken, calling to attention the altered perspective and significance of each step on the climb to the top. (After doing some research I discovered that over 50 people each year commit suicide by throwing themselves off The Gap.)
Eva shot video and Ash did these stills with me yesterday. Feedback would be great, and I'll try to get the video up soon.

that looks beautiful meghan.
so were you tracing specific footprints? or did you repeat this action over and over? tell me more!
(oh, and stop following the footprints at the jump off point, ok? ok)
I walked backwards from the start of the pathway to the very top. It took about 20 minutes. So, not specific prints but it's pretty much one way up, at least I assume that's how most people get up there?
I think it might be nice to do it 50 times or do it over and over or something but there was something nice about retracing that last climb that so many people take.
Those photos are pretty awesome...who took them??
Hehehehe.
Can't wait to see the finished product =]
i have to say that the last image is by far my favorite. there is a poignant moment where it is unclear whether you are walking away from the edge or towards it. and the edge is so near. want to see video NOW!!!!
ps - good work photo/videographers!
