Yoga in Point Reyes

I've begun a collaboration with yoga instructor Rebecca Mayne, aimed at creating a series of images that will hopefully aid in her development as a teacher, and likewise my development as a photographer. These images are just the beginning of a hopeful project that will evolve as Rebecca and I further develop our vision.




We spent the day at North Beach in Point Reyes.


Although the Ice Grass is invasive, I found it to be wonderfully colorful and complimentary.


The weather was a mix of sun and fog, providing a lighting situation which would have been impossible to ask for, but provided a wonderful soft glow.




I was a sucker for the classic lotus position. Rebecca's skill as a yogi is incredible, and we only skimmed the surface in terms of her capabilities.


I'd like to thank all my friends who came out to the beach with us on Saturday, in particular John Kerr  who provided lighting assistance, and of course Rebecca Mayne for being my amazingly talented model.

Rebecca has both a great blog and a website that deal with her theory and practice of yoga.

Drakes Beach Dye Workshop

What an amazing day I had at Drakes Beach with my sister Rebecca Burgess. She hosted a natural dye workshop out at Point Reyes, and many beautiful people attended. The weather cooperated wonderfully, and the backdrop couldn't have been any more ideal. Thank you to all who participated!
