Publishes “Philippe Halsman’s Jump Book”
The book contains a tongue-in-cheek discussion of “jumpology” and 178 photographs of celebrity jumpers. This is the name he gave to his philosophy of jump photography: when you ask a person to jump, his attention goes to the act of jumping, the mask falls, and the real person appears.
