Ashtanga yoga for the Ph.D holders, the multi-awarded scholars, well published book authors (my classmates!) Prof. Ces Conaco, Ph.D. former Psych dep’t chair on Marichyasana C

 I’ll be back in two hours. This is Prof. Ces Conaco, Ph.D, chair several times of the Psychology Department of the University of the Philippines, Diliman, multi-awarded scholar and book author; etc.  this was during our practice today i didn’t have control of the light, the angle (the model was at the edge of the room i didn’t have space at my back her Julia-Roberts-legs are so long they’re  outside my frame but i didn’t have control of her, the teacher might get horrified (haha) if i suddenly pull her student’s mat with the student on it for better angle, for art’s sake!

        i’ll be back in a bit.

         why was i taking pictures? Because i was gawn (gone), a classmate came in late (our classes are after-work) in the middle of the class and i was near the door and i saw her and she had this “innocent” look in her face like “is-it-Monday-today?” look,  and she had such fighting spirit she did her salutation poses while we were already twelve poses away so i had this giggling fit and couldn’t hold the balancing poses, i was gawn; it’s my fault i was the only one laughing; it’s me not her i have fits like that ask my friends;  she told me later that she was organizing an international conference and that was why she was late. it makes me laugh when people have this “innocent look” (for lack of a better term) in their face, like, “Ay-nag-start-na-pala look,  and they are late. soweee, mababaw ang kaligayahan ko.

      For these photos, whatever mistakes in form are my fault (the photographer’s fault) because i was taking too long to shoot and in the second shot i asked the model to turn her head so the camera can capture part of her face, she wasn’t supposed  to do that, demanding si Direk, mali naman!  Next time, i would have the presence of mind to use the video function of my digicam so i can start in front then swing slowly to the side of the subject and follow her arm to the back, i know you need rails (riles) or tracks for that but if you can step slowly your camera won’t jar, i’ll be back in a bit.
