LIFE Photo: Yoga Undercurrent



Elements of a darling LIFE photo 

A PHOTO. 
Time. 
Nostalgia. 
A moment. 
A present once appreciated, once moved through. 
The flash of an old camera to capture the innocence, the daring, the trying. 
Qu'est-ce que la photographie?
A dated camera.

LIFE. 
A logo. 
A magazine.
Pages of cultural heritage, frame by frame, issue by issue. 
A large-sized magazine. 
Très professionnel.
Serious.

BLACK & WHITE. 
An era passed. 
A way to make any era classic. 
Hearkening back to the days of Charlie Chaplin. 
Varying shades of grey.
C'est de la qualité.
Precision.

A CHILD. 
In a hat. 
Innocence and strength. 
Flexibility and pose. 
Open mouth, raised hand: conquerer of all hearts. 
Quirky and authentic 
Qu'il est mignon!
Precious skin.

YOGA. 
Hand to foot. 
Leg extension. 
Balance. 
And beyond the pose: youth.
A present lived, a present continued through image. 
Yoga through photography. 
Yoga through... Life. 
Strength: physically and attitude-inally. 
L'esprit.
A return to natural exuberance.
