Train naturally: parkour is a stellar poster child for natural movement training.
Train with conviction and intelligence: parkour’s emphasis on awareness of your environment and circumstances, as well as performance under pressure, requires as much of these qualities as you can muster, then challenges you to dig deep down and find even more.
Train for fun: the playful and spontaneous nature of parkour encourages creativity in a way that I can only liken to improvisational jazz and dancing.
"Actually, I'm not all that interested in the subject of photography. Once the picture is in the box, I'm not all that interested in what happens next. Hunters, after all, aren't cooks.” -Henri Cartier-Bresson
Stephanie is a hunter. Not just of photography or of painting but of her every impulse. Not interested in the end product, or sometimes even the process, she is in the midst of a discipline concerning only her most fleeting fancies and capricious whims. She is engrossed in the systematic and rigorous exploration of this singular idea and is unwilling to let me know when she will be finished with it.
Stephanie is currently attending the University of Arizona pursuing her undergraduate degree in Art (and maybe Craft) with a minor in Theater Arts. She is graduating in May 2011 and will promptly begin forgetting everything she’s learned and will, from there, build a new education beginning with an extended stay with her grandparents in Santa Fe, NM and Witten, Germany.
