Mastery is a Quiet Path
…
Building a bridge between
Everything
and our own
Stillness.
…
…
Nothing outside of ourselves can be taken too seriously.
It is all a metaphor for the work being done within.
…
…
In our stillness, we cultivate golden honey
to sweeten up our perceptions,
enjoy our days,
and spread it all over the world.

A dedicated yoga practitioner himself, Sturman's work has increasingly focused on capturing the timeless grace and embodied mindfulness of asana. His portraits, whether set in the lively streets of Manhattan, the expansiveness of Malibu's beaches and canyons, the timeless elegance of Walden's New England, or the bleakness of San Quentin Prison, remind us that there is beauty everywhere. In Sturman's own words "I often think of Rumi: 'I can't stop pointing to the beauty.' That feels right to me." ...... Excerpt from Dearbhla Kelly's article:
Intoxicated With Beauty—Portrait of an Artist's Soul.

As always Robert these are kick ass images.. Keep em coming
Good theme. I would say, though, that you largely used the same settings and stagings that you employed earlier with the woman? That said, I found Number 2 stood out. As I have told you before, and it's a purely personal aesthetic, I like it when your figures seem to blend in with the earth, and appear almost as an extension of Her – rather than seeming to use Her as staging area or for contrast. That's why I think number 2 stands out even more than the other jetty shot, which is good too. Personal preference. He's almost another rock formation, and his blue-black coloring more subtly meshes with the blue-black of water and land. Blessings! Who knows, tomorrow I will see it differently…
I heart you & love what you did here. Beautiful example of photo-poetry. Coining this term!

It's nice to see a yoga model who can inspire people who is not a thin, beautiful young woman for a change. Of course, nothing wrong (at all) with such women – but it is important to people who do not for whatever reasons fit that description to see themselves represented in yoga visually as well.
Agreed. Diversity.
