The Body- self portrait

The thought came to me this morning in my weekly yoga class that the body would be a suitable subject for an occasional series.

Now, I don't think our yoga teacher would take kindly to me whipping out a camera to record some of the extraordinary positions we get ourselves into.

Clearly this would not be practical during the class, which is a serious one and start with meditation and ending with further meditation though it is referred to as relaxation, and even a little chanting.


So, the next best thing is some self-portraits.

Here's the start. It's my toes.

The pioneer in self-portraiture of the body is of course John Coplans. Warts and all.
