Mingle

And the rivers with the ocean
The winds of heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single
All things by a law divine
In one another’s being mingle
Why not I with thine?
–– from “Love’s Philosophy” by Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792 – 1822)

PHOTO: Janet and I met at an after party for a theatre show. Her boy friend had seen my work and encouraged her to come shoot some dance nudes. About a week later he dropped her off at my studio. He told us he was going to go hang out at the beach, and to text him when we were done.
Janet had never shot any nudes before, but after a few minutes of feeling shy, she got into her dancing and we started to get some cool shots. She was a superb dancer. As we were wrapping up she said that after the first five minutes she had actually forgotten that she was nude.
