Amazing.

My own Tai Chi class never looks that graceful!  ;)

Thank you for your kind and encouraging words. I hope to exhibit my work some day.

Back story: I watched a slim, middle-aged man practicing Tai Chi along the seashore. I had been observing and admiring his level of skill and concentration. I took about 50 pictures--carefully framing him in the camera (handheld at waist level). I entered into a deep state of concentration as I gazed into the LED screen--while trying to keep the camera rock-steady. This lasted for at least five minutes. When he finished, he joined his wife who sat on a bench waiting to watch the sunset ... I introduced myself. A nice conversation ensued. I showed them the series of images I'd taken. Our conversation flowed.

My wife and I have been doing a Tai Chi class for about three years now, and your Arcs express very well the relaxed, smooth sense of flow that is a goal in Tai Chi.

My trainer and my doctor both heartily endorse Tai Chi. I do, too.

And I love your new and unique imagery.
