Trampoline Jumper, Tennessee, 2001

A jumper vaults out of frame on a backyard trampoline in Dayton, Tennessee. Now a quiet community of about 6,500, this Bible Belt town was the site of the famous 1925 Scopes "Monkey" Trial, in which Dayton teacher John Scopes was convicted of violating a Tennessee law against teaching evolution in public schools.
