3:57pm, Remington Avenue and W 31st Street, Baltimore, MD

I tried to be inspired by Anna from slowdanger. I definitely lack balance, flexibility, and a certain mobility. I walk by this section of building often. It's on my way to the gym. Shadow, my old, familiar friend. It's another unusually warm day. Taking advantage of it as much as I can. I feel as though I move at a certain pace lately. Slowish, small bursts, mini halts... lots of thinking but I couldn't really articulate it. Today felt like a sketch, a sloppy sketch of balance play. It's only fair to point out I was just at the gym for 2 hours and my body is tired. Not an excuse but rather, an explanation. A slow shift of camera perspective. I'm going to let the space dictate that for right now. A pedestrian walked behind my camera... I think. Slow but regular flow of cars. It feels weirdly like fall but we never really had fall this year. Arms fly up symmetrically, especially when I'm off balance. It frustrates me. If I danced longer would I work past that? I think I want to work past it in the first 10-11 minutes, if possible. I wonder what tomorrow will bring? Day twelve.
