Brandi and I made a trip to Bismarck to a pretty little outdoor skating rink. I think it was around 8 degrees but thankfully the wind wasn’t blowing too badly. We worked quickly and got some really pretty shots of her skating. I have always loved to watch figure skating and have admired the combination of beauty and athleticism. But I can’t skate myself. I had a hard enough time just walking across the icy parking lot to the rink. I did try skating once and quickly learned just how difficult it is – as I clung the wall and curled my toes into the souls of the skates trying to grip the ice. LOL. Brandi just moved so effortlessly and beautifully on the ice, even when I knew she must have been freezing!
It was a treat to do something totally new for me and to try to capture her spirit as she skated. I really do love it when seniors share their ideas and their passion. Its a great way to get something unique as well as giving me new techniques to try.
