Warrior III: Retro (2012)

Here is a look back as well as a view of the way forward…

Seven years ago, directly after Halloween Yoga 2012 (note: that year I was dressed as a voting booth and you can see my box costume in the background) the photographer I had in for the evening hung around afterwards for a bit and took a number of photos of various poses.
