Goalie Pops Air Mattress
Ryder is a senior at Mayo High School. Ryder wasn’t excited about getting his senior photos taken but did like the idea of having a professional action shot of himself in goal, diving for a soccer ball. Scott and Ryder spent an entire morning getting the shot. Scott put our twin-size inflatable mattress on the ground and told Ryder to jump higher and higher. Ryder landed on the air mattress harder and harder. They finally quit when the air mattress popped. Ryder left sweaty and bruised. Scott left praying he had something in his camera. The final photo is exactly what Ryder wanted but, as irony would have it, I like Ryder’s skateboarding photos better. They only took 10 minutes and nothing was harmed in the process.
