Hi to James O / MotionStopFactoryHi To James!James is the photographer we use for PoleDivas. He did a shoot for me in April. You might have seen them on Facebook. We did a shoot last weekend too. (Varie/VBells, Kate/MissSpinCity, and Me) Varie's pics are on James's Facebook. I'll have mine soon to show you! Thanks James for all your hard work! |

Big shout out to STORM for hooking Pole Divas up with James!! XX |

Thank-you Robyn & Fay for the warm welcome!
As it's customary to say a few words, here is a bit of random trivia: I hail from the crocodile infested waters of Lake Victoria that have spawned the likes of President Barack Hussein Obama. Sadly I was not blessed with his looks and intellect. Nevertheless I am grateful for not being eaten alive. Even though I have cleavage, I am not female and since myself and gravity seldom agree, I don't do pole  I however do have an interest in this activity from a photographic perspective. I have always been fascinated by "physical performances", whether it's Circus, Capoeira, Parkour, Street Dance etc... The human body is amazing in the strength, flexibility, coordination and creativity of the poses which it can assume.
My goal is to capture not only the jaw-dropping moves but also to convey in pictures the relationship between mind, body and identity. Hopefully in the process, I will contribute to the pole dance community with photos that not only 'do justice' to your creativity & skill but also help in influencing a wider audience to take up pole dance. No intro is complete without shout-outs: Storm for introducing me to pole dance and putting the feelers out. Fay for the hospitality & kind permission to cover PoleDivas. Bubble, VBells, MissSpinCity & Annie @ PurePole for their time & effort in collaborating on shoots - y'all fantastic and give new meaning to "passionate"!

Thanks Leeann!
Lolaaaaa!!! My bad. How could I forget the custodian of the VIP area at Pole Divas? Especially given the constant coming and going. Thank-you for the patience  I blame Ben & Jerrys for the hassle. Had it not been for the epic consumption of Phish food over the summer, I'd have hurdled the barrier like a true Kenyan running the 3000m steeplechase!
BTW I need to call you over the next couple of days! Cheers |

Cheers Deb!
I presume it's the Death Lay at Pole Divas in 2007? That was a crazy move! I remember thinking at the time "No way, this is not humanly possible - must lay off the Red Bull - my mind is playing tricks on me". But the evidence is there! I wonder what was more mind boggling. The finished pose or your fluid & effortless transition into it. I mean it is was with the same ease as someone casually zapping through TV channels. Mad mad skills.
