"The Racers" is part of German photographer, Jan von Holleben's, collection "Dreams of Flying." I recently ran across the postcard version of it at a local book store. Upon closer examination of some of the kids' faces, a sense of nostaglia wafted over me and brought me back to simpler times when I didn't have to "think" about riding, I just did. So if you're having trouble getting back to training, or for some of us, getting back to shape, just dream of flying.
From Jan's website [some of the copy is definitely lost in translation]:
"Crossing the desert on the back of a dog, or searching for lost treasures on the bottom of the ocean. Jan von Holleben’s photographs allow children to make their dreams come true.
Jan brings the influences of his parents – a cinematographer and child therapist – to his work. His focus on the visual representation of childhood, 'Child-History' and concepts of 'Playing', come from his teacher training course and he combines these theories with his personal experience and childhood memories. Inspired by classic childhood books as well as modern superheroes, he produces ‘Dreams of Flying’ since 2002 with children from his local neighbourhood in South West Germany – ongoing!"
