Back in June we helped bring 8 of the coolest Seattle photographers together for a quick photoshoot at Gasworks Park of some of our instructors and younger students.

The idea was that any photos coming out of it would be Creative Commons licensed and cool for noncommercial use by the nonprofit. That way we get some awesome photos to use on the website and in printed materials (with attribution of course), and they get to shoot with some awesome traceurs and build their portfolio.

Well the first Flickr jam went great and you can see the results below or in our Flickr group at flickr.com/groups/parkourvisions

Confluence Creative team Joshua B. Johnson and Bridget O’Neill pair up with members of Parkour Visions to bring you Parkour For The People. Emerging on the streets of Europe, taking names on YouTube and leaping onto the big screen, Parkour has an underground appeal the world over. But it’s here in Seattle we found a tight knit group of Tracuers working together to make Parkour accessible to the masses. The Pacific Northwest Parkour Association, or Parkour Visions, is a not-for-profit designed to get people of all ages outside and moving. Experienced Traceurs teach students the fundamentals through classes, training exercises, and strength building activities. If you would like to give Parkour a try, you can find more information at www.parkourvisions.org. Special thanks to: Green Lake Park, Gas Works Park, Tyson Cecka, Rafe Kelley, Brandee Laird, Janine Cundy, and Adam Truesdell
