Excuse me, there’s a gamba on your ass.
Keep reaching. Your hands are almost there.
UPDATE
The subject of the photos has written in to say:
Could you please credit me, the performer, Rachel Cama (and yes, I’m also a yoga teacher).
And also, can you credit the photographer:Becky OehlersMany thanks…it was a very enjoyable photoshoot and not awkward, for me, at all.

I’m jealous of the instrument.

It’s a viola de gamba.

Better a gamba than a mamba.

absolutely love these pix, esp this one; my 12 year old’s got the body of a yoga instructor and also very passionate about her cello – can almost envision this in our house. Esp when her mom’s a prof photographer. nice idea for the site and love the Shakespeare quote too. Keep up the good work!

Her comments make this even funnier! I do believe she missed the point, which was – and this is for her, in case she ever comes back to see this – that it’s a completely ridiculous picture!

Becky sang for me a lot in Philly and I miss her! Tell her hello!
She has a fabulous voice and forgot how talented she is with the camera.
I’m a yogi as well and trying to incorporate my scorpion posture in my pipe organ photos.
Haha not easy to do…

You’ve got to have a sense of humor if you’re going to take a photo like this.
