You look amazing, and your posture really reminds me of traditional dances from East Asian Culture- amazing angles.<br /><br />I swear you look like you're having so much fun out there.

Other shots are from below you, which have the opposite effect. But the risk of these out-of-proportion possibilities are well worth the price of shooting them! Look at the sculpture of David in Florence... his arms are insanely long... a literal Neanderthal. But that didn't prevent it from being one of the greatest works of art in history. So by all means, pursue your art! Even if the classical proportions are off. Most of us are here for more than just T&A, I suspect... we're here for the pursuit of beauty, in all its unexpected and quirky turns. OK, honestly, T&A is good, but please use it in the pursuit of art, as you've always done!Steve Mouzonhttp://samouzon.zenfolio.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8033067393001603131.post-46055041141542440972011-08-18T18:10:30.791-07:002011-08-18T18:10:30.791-07:00@Meagan W. - Wow!
