Aerial class with Madeline hoak

I was finally able

to observe and photograph

Madeline Hoak's Aerial class.

An amazing thing to behold, involving

strength, stamina, and grace. Her students

were focused, calm, and attentive to her

directions dispite my being there.

All of them show a burning desire

to get the hang of it, and push it as far 

as they can. The health benefits, increased

agility, concentration, reflex, and 

not to mention this is so cool.

The wonderful thing about this

is how much I wanted to put down the cameras

and join in. You could feel the concentrated

energy of the class as you moved through the room.

I was in such a good mood after the class.

I really love the twists, turns, and angles

of the bodys  you can get when your photographing them.

Da Vinci would have loved this.

Movement of the human body and the elements of

the form can be broken down into its various parts

by the eye, then used to create so many types of Art.

Thinking in terms of abstract painting, the 

variations seem utterly endless and sublime.

I can't wait for the next observation period.

If you would like to know more, or give it go,
