Zillah Glory
It’s been some time since I’ve last updated the photoblog and there have been plenty of photos in between. But for now, here are a few from a fun photoshoot I had with my friend Zillah.
Chinatown [San Francisco], a mere peek.
Power to the Peaceful [2009] concert, but mostly AcroYogis!
Who said you have to be still to achieve relaxation? A friend (feat. in photograph #8) and I traversed from the South Bay to attend the Power to the Peaceful concert set in San Francisco’s Speedway Meadow, Golden Gate Park. An estimated 65,000 people were in attendance throughout the day’s festivities. While I could go on about the concert itself, I felt the highlights were Alanis Morisette’s playful lyrical adjustment to her song, “Ironic” with the line: “It’s like meeting the man of my dreams, and then meeting his beautiful husband” and the AcroYoga troupe. All other experiences throughout the park glazed along like typical festival pleasantries.
AcroYoga is fascinating. On one hand it’s presents the same challenges acrobats strive to trump, on the other, it demonstrates how relaxing (at least from an audience standpoint) and beautiful this physical art is. The two, like ingredients in a tasty dish, mix well and serves a healthy dose of entertainment and enthrallment. The performers were masterful and their cheerful disposition seemed to offset the rather overcast (of course) San Francisco weather. As if spurred by curious eyes, the founders of AcroYoga skillfully transformed each other into a display of subdued energy exuding an air of trust, warmth and playfulness. While the World may move in mysterious ways, the human body, moves even more mysterious.
