100-foot drop
This photograph of rhythmic gymnast Evgeniya Chernukhina, taken this month is one of the most recent additions to the series. “She has been training eight hours a day in Russia since she was four,” Matter writes on his blog, which explains why he was comfortable asking her to pose on a wall with a 100-foot-drop in New York City’s Fort Tyron Park. Everyone around them was so freaked out, they had to look away, he says.
Correction, July 26, 2011: The title of this slide originally described the drop as 1000 feet, not 100.
