Kerry Skarbakka seems to have a superhuman ability to survive some terrible accidents, all of which are of his own making. The artist photographs himself falling from trees, jumping off of bridges and in the midst of fires all in the name of art. Inspired by the helplessness he felt after the 9/11 attacks Kerry has produced a series of images showing the artist frozen in a moment of peril. The images sell for up to 4,500.
