I'm idly curious about who it is and where it was taken. Ideas?

Pete Draper,

Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

You can't see their feet, they could all just be standing on the ground.

I noticed that pic on the Epson site a few weeks ago when I was downloading drivers. Thought it was pretty cool.

My guess is that as you were focusing on videoing the lamest track I have ever seen someone not wearing a helmet do... ~Canuck

If the media keeps posting pictures of head-down skydivers, in upside-down format so that they appears heads-up, the general public is going to think that the latest craze in skydiving is to make formations in the feet-to-earth position.

And the marketing whuffo people who created that web image probably think that is the proper orientation!

Or maybe, in some crazy back to front universe, the camera man was just head down too

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Yeah, but... the people seeing the image on their computer screens aren't standing on their heads to match the camera man's orientation.

At least I don't think they will be.

. . . and then new skydivers will see that and try to emulate that. And in ten years, the old crusty jumpers will be the head-downers with their conservative easy body position, and the new, cool, colorful, heavily pierced crowd will all be doing feet-to-earth.

See the attached... I flipped it back over... Do you think the marketing people would put something like that on their web site??? Wuffos would say, "it is upside down!"
