This idea came from photos I had taken of my favorite model in a nearby park. As is sometimes the case, I don't know what I'm looking for until I see some visual clue that leads me to a finished idea. Once I saw this photo of her looking down from the swing, I immediately hit on the idea of her swinging at a ridiculously high altitude. Joyful, with unflinching confidence and courage.
