Catching Zebra is edited by Andy Taylor.
It is a collection of anything I think is worth sharing. I post my own photography to a photolog called Shots. I designed this Tumblr theme.If you like it you can install it here. Please direct questions about the theme to the Catching Elephant Tumblr. I've deleted some theme questions because they were clogging up Catching Zebra.

How to Survive a 35,000-Foot Fall
Water landings—if you must—require quick decision-making. Studies of bridge-jump survivors indicate that a feet-first, knife-like entry (aka “the pencil”) best optimizes your odds of resurfacing.

Then, if a feet-first entry is inevitable, the most important piece of advice, for reasons both unmentionable and easily understood, is to clench your butt.
