the project:

the PLAY JUMP EAT! team has photographed 32 images, that are part of 2 different "chapters" if you will.

A little snipit from their mission re: one of the chapters called bed jump! follows:

Throw all caution to the wind & Jump, Cape Town!

Jump for JOY!

The Bed represents:

Joy.

A common thread of Humanity.

Whether in Manhattan or the Kalahari, we were all born Humans. Babies. Kids who like to Play.

We are all now Actors, Polititians, Mothers, Fishermen, Surfers, Tourists, & Supermodels – all coming in different shapes & sizes, colors & hues, with different voices and stories for the world.

Nevertheless, we are all still Humans, &

Kids who like to Play.

So Come to the bed & Jump, Cape Town!

Jump for Joy!
