chrisandra fox

as i am working through a shoot you really never can tell what other little gems will come through. chrisandra fox and i have been working together photographically for some time now, among other things. today i decided i would like to share…

one time, oh some time back in january of 06 a friend of mine took me to a community yoga class at the hayes valley yoga tree, i had never been there and i was (as most of us always will be) still very new to yoga… to this day i still remember some of the things in this class- not realizing until writing this, that chrisandra fox really was one of my very first yoga teachers… i remember being miffed that i couldn’t fit her classes into my schedule at the time… who knew we’d become such good friends… she’s great, and i am very grateful for our friendship…

we have been creating the “Pose of the month” articles for the yoga tree newsletter for the past few months, and in out last shoot- in the midst of a combination of a ‘Pose of the Month’ shoot and an ‘Interlude : Actuate ‘  shoot we came across this image…


“Chrisandra Fox is a student of hatha yoga, Ayurveda, and Tantra. She

teaches creative sequences and yogic practices designed to address

obstacles within so that the practitioner awakens a natural state of

meditative awareness and ease of heart. Chrisandra teaches at Yoga

Tree in San Francisco, and leads The Heart of Renewal Retreats in

California and internationally.”

the street

it seems that walking down the street, alone, is where the most free inspiration comes.

my own personal tunnel, breezy and truncated by the approach to the destination

 

 

if only wandering would be the way, but desultory wandering takes away the magik for me, there is never

“aimless” anymore

there are leaves, cement, drippy trees, street lines, asphalt, blinders giving awareness to oblivion

and then, the door

share

portrait share

 

come to my opening tonight!

below you will find some examples of what i am calling “artist proofs”

now, if you are into printmaking you know that i am “fudging” this term to suit my needs…

basically, these images exemplify what the photo looks like before i get it printed on watercolor paper (or canvas), affix it to the surface (or stretch it) and then work on it…

“before” images i think someone called them once…
