Almost a Fall


This dramatic family photo captures the exact split second before a small disaster. The little girl, having let go of her mom’s hand unexpectedly, is suspended in mid-air—just one-third of a second from face-planting. It’s a perfect storm of bad timing and quick photography.

Though the landing probably involved some crying and comforting, the snapshot preserved this comical (and slightly terrifying) moment forever. It’s a reminder that parenting often includes unexpected tumbles—and the best family photos are rarely the most polished ones.
