Today, August 7th, I began my photo blog of 52 weeks of handstands. I am inspired by the jumping boy, a neighbor of mine, who had his father take a photo a day of him jumping. View his website here http://www.jumpingboy.com/ Of course, dad is a graphic artist and his photos might be a bit more professional than mine, but I think my son and I can do a fairly stellar job. I think we start out with a bang here with the fish eye lens. I love the idea of commiting to a routine off the beaten path, so here it is weeks and weeks of whatever opportunity brings for my weekly handstand. My good friend, Tracy Bird, has taken it upon herself to be my handstand coach. I have been practicing since October 2008. Tracey has been fine tuning the art of handstanding with a little help from one of her young divers who can hold a handstand for minutes so I have the great fortune of learning from the pros!
Here, you are witnessing one of my best handstands to date, perhaps it's the hiking boots or perhaps the relief of my legs in the sky, not on the ground!
