'Taking the leap'. A photojournalism project.
On July 8th 2012, 35 year old Lee Richards completed one of the activities that was high up on his bucket list. Sky Diving involves a certain mentality, as the participant leaps from a moving plane, free falls a certain distance, opens a parachute and glides safely to the ground. The Mile High Sky Diving Center is situated in Longmont airport and has been in business since 1995. The positive vibe of the business is perfect for first time jumpers such as Lee, who began to feel the nerves on approach to the airport. However, the friendly staff made all feel welcome and safe. The Sky Dive for this Welsh native became one of the most memorable events of his life.
