I enjoyed reading/watching these responses...and then I wondered what it would be like to walk on something transparent and be recorded from below. Interesting how perspective become clear when a certain angle is repeated in one space (everyone is looking down).

when you walk with Ramona do you look at some of the things that Ramona is looking at?

i noticed that my left foot and right foot both move to the left. and I just realized that because the weight of my body goes a bit more to the left that probably relates to persistent back pain that I often get that starts in the lower left of the back (and sometimes moves to other parts of my back).

She is generally aware of how she walks because of past injuries.. notices if something that she is doing may affect her body so she tries to correct it in a way that feels organic but also that helps her.
She is also aware of the surfaces she steps on
"the Sunny aftenoon walk" is a still of a walk: She notices that her right foot turns in and left turns out.

A museum of interesting things! , your foot turning slightly, and noticing the sounds of crows and a hawk.. I was not able to tell the sound of the hawk.. Did anyone else?

Loved reading about your walking companions .. and your celebration of the hints of spring!

Are you a usual walker?

# data[].attributes.body
back to walking one of my usual routes before the snows fell. it feels great! the air is crisp and cool. the trees are saying, "spring is here!" 2 crows were chasing a hawk that live in my nextdoor neighborhood. toward the end of the walk saw the hawk flying to a tall tree a block from home and landed on a tree, all by its lonesome, no crows to be heard or seen....it kind of seemed as if the hawk followed me home.

I bet that young Theo has put some new interesting things for us to explore since 2020....wish I could've stopped and enjoyed but will do so next time...I noticed how my left foot turns with the corner

Walking in the neighborhood again....wonderful!

great to be back outside walking after the snowy, icy cold weeks...the green BLM sign stayed up all winter...it had a little trouble during the fall...it was pretty droopy and sad looking in the fall

-Ramona has been the reason I go for walks.
-When there's no snow, Ramona just stops and looks around. Rather than shush her, I've been stopping with her and looking.

Walking tutorial:
-Go for a walk and stop every block or so and pause. Look around (forward, to the side, behind you). Feel the wind. Don't worry about where you're going.
-Then have someone carry you a take you back home (ha! joke - only when she reallyyy won't walk again).
-Continue walking very slowly (like you're sliding on the shoreline of a quiet beach)
-Pick up your pace to a normal speed
-Repeat the stop at least 1-2 more times

So you have an "about to rest" position and a resting position...
Do you walk a lot? I guess that having a dog you may!

# data[].attributes.body
There's no more snow or ice, but I wanted to be more aware of how my weight rests on my feet! i noticed that when I'm relaxed (letting the dog sniff around as we walk, for example) lean on one hip (top), but when I'm thinking about just resting, it's much more balanced (bottom). (-Lili)

# data[].attributes.body
I tried paying as much attention as possible to each step so I recorded slow-motion. I was trying to catch my cat to include her too as your dog but she was too fast!

# data[].attributes.body
Snow melted but I wanted to see how the materials in my environment also get disrupted by our step’s weight.

# data[].attributes.body
From tacia’s post I got interested about how surfaces receive our steps and how they get marked.
This are my drawn steps!

# data[].attributes.body
Tacia, I am so fascinated by your comment about the snow drawing your steps.... and that made me notice how your weight falls on your feet with each step, marking the snow.
I loved your drawings too... I can't wait to share my version of your walk soon.

Where the open foot comes from... a little story about a small rotation

Where the open foot comes from... a little story about a small rotation

# data[].attributes.body
So I think that one reason why I open my foot like that is because when I was in middle school i was at this dance team/bad cheer-leading team (I'm a bit embarrassed by that now LOL).... And at some point I performed a split (see image below if you are not familiar with the term) while I was not warm enough so I injured the ligaments of my hip rotator---or something.. This is self diagnose hahaha....it was small enough that I did not have to go to the doctor, but real enough to have felt something in my right hip joint changing, at the moment it was happening,  and it changed how I walk for ever! So crazy!... and now sometimes my knee and the tissue of my foot sole can hurt a bit because of the repetition of this opening of the foot.
Even if I am lying down in a completely rested position, my right leg will turn out a little...
So crazy how this little movement and moments mark us forever.. and speak about a whole relationship with the pressure of performing certain way in a space, the pressure of being seen

I took this video just before everything thawed, so for once I was a little less focused on not slipping on ice. I was still very focused on how I put my feet down when I step, which I think I'm always thinking about a little - heel to foot to toes. I didn't realize my feet would point a little outwards each time, though I don't know how noticeable it is when I'm not recording :)

# data[].attributes.body
I totally notice your foot turning out!...
In the videos that I uploaded it is not as perceptible, maybe because I was aware that I was recording. When I am walking more distracted I automatically do that and I suddenly realize I am opening my foot... My husband says that sometimes when we are at an open space and there's people around he can still tell where I am by my walking.

# data[].attributes.body
Getting the right foot "out" was a real challenge, as I was focusing on both recreating that movement while being aware of my own posture... this feels almost exaggerated. though it made me aware of the way my body moved as I tried to imitate this movement, which I normally am not thinking about when I walk by myself!

# data[].attributes.body
on another day, i stopped & felt the weight of my steps returning here

# data[].attributes.body
i took a walk as soon as the weather app said i wasn't going to be risking frostbite to do so & i felt like a toddler stepping into other people's steps. I had to make a new way of walking that day and thought it was funny to be unable to see myself as i usually i am as a walker in my usual rhythms at the same time that my literal steps were made visible by the snow.

Today, with the snow melted, I noticed that I walk looking ahead and up up up most of the time. Hands on my thighs in my pockets and shoulders rounded in the cold

I am also sharing things that I like to do as I walk.. and what I noticed in my back and head.

Here is what I noticed about my walking: I paid attention to where I place my weight in my body and on how my feet move

Walking and doing some arm movements. Try to keep elbows high!
I’ll upload a cleaner version of this walk and my “tutorial”

Reflect and revisit your way of walking (practice it for 3 minutes, paying attention to each gesture)

Can you generate a “tutorial” to follow your steps? (Video or text) –
