Skywalks around the world

Jay Cochrane created bridges in the sky and raised thousands of dollars for charity. It's time for a lasting memorial to be built.

Niagara Falls was his passion and beginning in May 2022, our website will feature the 20th Anniversary of the DECADE OF SKYWALKS performed by Jay Cochrane.

I had the honor to photograph Jay's performances in Niagara Falls and around the world. They were spectacular.
