People Who Make Me Smile #1

YowaYowa camera girl (japanese for weak/feeble) hahahaha
Natsumi Hayashi, Tokyo Photographer, or as I refer to her: The Girl Who Floats.

I used to work with a man who floats. Hal McElroy, he is a legendary heavyweight in the Australian Film & TV Industry. I was working on Blue Heelers at the time and he was the Executive Producer.
He was the man who floats because when he walked into the room it was like he glided, like he was floating. He was magic! Everything that Hal touched turned to GOLD.

But although I admire him, he is not a person who makes me smile. However, for the record, he worked on 'The Cars That Ate Paris' (Peter Weir's 1st Feature) and that does make me smile, in fact I have credit envy with that one.

Natsumi makes me smile, well her photographs do. She specialises in self portrait levitation photographs (no special effects). She describes her techniques on the website. Pretty much every one that I look at makes me smile. One other thing she photographs are her cats and they make me smile too. I posted a video response to her photographs at the start of this financial year. She has inspired me along with Baes Pascal to venture down the path of Human Stop Motion Animation. James & I thought it would be nice to say thank you.
Hats off to Natsumi, a fine photographer, a woman that floats and a person who makes me smile

amazing levitation photography
