Boot Camp


Whoops! So much to do lately (more about that later...) that I completely forgot about my blog post last night! Sorry about that. I love this photo because it's hard to imagine what is going on here. These young women are not new recruits, but rather soccer moms! They are in a new type of fitness club, and it is based on a military boot camp theme. This is just one of the exercises that a group goes through in their one hour routine. The fitness instructors are ex-marines - can you tell? What makes the photo even more mysterious is that he is not lifting a tire, as the young women are, and that he is kneeling in this strange light. It makes the event seem somewhat mystical or spiritual, which it was definitely not!

  1. The light is amazing here. Makes this look like a video game. He's not holding a tire because it's always the women who carry the heaviest loads. Symbolic, indeed.
