My third career
I spent good four hours with Jesse today taking photos for him. It was a lot of fun - I was a bit worried that I wouldn't get along with him but he's a really easygoing and funny guy... I guess he's putting on a show when he's teaching as he really isn't a twat at all outside classroom. We took over 150 photos of basic poses he wants to use as a training manual for his private students, and then we went outside to take some "fancy" promotional photos for his web site. Looking at them at home I'm really pissed off as it looks like my lens is dirty that really shows in the outdoor photos... nothing that can't be removed with some post-processing, but damn. I need to mail him and apologize, I'm really disappointed.
Then it was time for the trade and Jesse did a postural analysis for me which was very interesting. I'm doing pretty well - I have some imbalance in my hips from always leaning on my left side, my head has a tendency to stick to the front, and yes my core needs more strength. Two first ones were news (or when I think about it - maybe not so much), but I'm quite aware that my core is the weakest point in my practice. Jesse made a program for me to strengthen and balance the issues I have, and I'll have a another appointment with him in about three weeks time.
