This is a movie created with a series of photos. I was inspired to do this shoot to explore boundaries. Both my own, and the viewers'. This spider is harmless, but rather large. It took several deep breaths and a lot of reassuring myself to adjust to the feel of a spider on the skin. The instinct is to brush away that feeling normally. It seems that it's human nature to avoid that which makes us uncomfortable, rather than explore or think of why a thing is uncomfortable. This lovely creature was returned to the garden after the photo shoot.
