External Reason #1: Others seeing themselves as beautiful

   Before I had my beautiful daughter, I pole danced for a hobby.  I am just getting back into it, but have stayed in close touch with the special women from my pole dancing class.  One thing I would love to be able to do is bring women the life-changing feeling that I had the first time I saw a photo of myself dancing: That's me? I'm beautiful!

     Photographing pole dancing has a million challenges - lighting is dim, people are in motion, and static poses will look... static.  Women will also not believe you if you take "posed" pics and say "Look, you're stunning!"  They will think that they look stunning because you posed and edited them.

     I have recently started a "metamorphosis" project where I grabbed my remote, some terrible lighting and a crapload of clutter to capture my baby steps back into pole dancing.   I was thrilled with the results - you can see my inelegant lines of dance, my ridiculous environment and lack of space.

That being said, due to privacy I can't post the picture where I am just grinning ear to ear because of the joy of motion.

So, I want other women to feel the power of seeing themselves in the light of beauty and sensuality, the power of their motion and self-possession.  

(can you see the remote control in these pics? Ha!)
