Cartwheels Around the World
Back in 2008, I started a tradition. What began as a photo of a simple cartwheel on a beach has become a tradition when I travel. I love the process of finding the right location, setting up the shot, and cartwheeling in front of strangers in random places. It feels free and delightfully childish and I hope I can continue doing them for a very long time. I’ve put my hands down on grass, sand, cobblestone, ancient tiles and all manner of surfaces (hand sanitizer at the ready afterwards), and I love how these images capture moments I spent in these wild and wonderful places of our planet. Almost all of them were taken by my husband (Paul Zizka), who helped take them up a notch. Enjoy!
