In this first gallery, we found ourselves in a recently shut-down gym. Apparently the owner skipped town with all the money which sucked for the employees but was a boon for us. Our San Francisco location scout hooked us up and we had the run of the place and all the equipment.

Michele found the Pilates setup and insisted we use that – since Pilates is all about stretching the body out. Kudos to her for seeing the potential. What we shot was a submersion into a mindset that picked up where we left off making rope for fun.

Katie and I enjoyed pushing into a place that allowed us to be intense with the ties but still maintain that “bully/brat” sense of fun we always seem to inspire in each other. She allowed me to twist her body into odd shapes but I held onto her enough to let her know she was safe and she could let go and ride the bondage. Mutual safety is something I mention from time to time and in this case it meant that I knew Katie would speak up and tell me when she’d had enough or when something wasn’t feeling good and that made me feel safe in playing with her.

I think Michele captured that perfectly.
