Alisson Cardoso (of Silmara Ramos Photo Studio in Brusque, Santa Catarina) took this beautiful photo of Ricardo Dinamar Silva pulling against Jassom Gardin (who you can only see in the background at the far end of the rope). She’s really done a great job in catching Ricardo in that transcendent moment of purity where everything you’re feeling, physically and emotionally, simultaneously moves into harmonious clarity and drops away completely. Wonderful photo.
