my day as a model

today i took a break from shooting to model for lovely margo moritz. she's shooting a cool project on movement in the body and i had the pleasure of participating by spending 2hrs jumping, falling, flinging, running and otherwise emoting myself to the limit.

i'm not used to being in front of the camera but margo made it easy. at the end of the shoot i felt free in my body and somewhat more in control of my own self image than i usually do. somehow jumping and falling down 300 times in a row taught me three things:
1. i'm not going to hurt myself falling down which is a pretty neat feeling, plus it's really fun
2. continually experiencing the moment of pure lightness at the arc of a movement is both liberating and blissful
3. i should do more lunges at the gym in addition to my daily cardio since my thigh muscles are absolutely dying. i actually almost fell down the stairs this evening a couple of times which is fairly embarrassing since i'm in darn good shape.

unfortunately all the flinging about made me motion sick (and i mean literally - i had no idea you could do that to yourself) and i spent the evening in bed, but it was well worth it. i can't wait to see the images.
