Every Picture Tells a Story: Nude 1 (Holli’s Pick).

I’ve moved from one side of the United States to the other in the past few weeks - and now that I’m (temporarily) back in Oklahoma we’ve been spending more and more time at my Mom and Dad’s house. On one hand it’s wonderful… I’ve really missed them - but on the other, this is amazingly bad timing for this month’s challenge. I can’t think of anywhere I would want to be naked *less* than at my parents’ home.

I honestly don’t know how I’m going to find a way to take the type of portraits I would like to… I can’t imagine explaining me naked in a bedroom with a tripod to Nana in any way, shape or form (just thinking about it is making me freak a little).

So I got a wee bit jealous browsing through everyone else’s photos… the whole aspect of privacy and the ability to do what you want (whenever you want) changes when you become the child again. It’s difficult to go backwards when you’re nearing the age of 40.

I absolutely loved melissatulip’s picture - it’s the epitome of what I wish I could do with a camera, but it would cause a complete scandal. I love the lush green against her skin - it’s a complete celebration of natural freedom.

Until next time,

Holli

I love this picture too! I couldn’t imagine being that comfortable outside.

if you think it’s difficult to go backwards when you near 40 - oh dear goodness, imagine what it’s like when one is going on 52….
i’ve not left a self portrait in months, and it would seem odd if i started doing them again this month. but i do love the theme…in all ways. best to you - nina

Wait, I thought Nana couldn’t see? How would she know you were nakey? Problem solved!

That one really is beautiful. I wish the link the photographer left had been to a blog entry instead of just the photo. I’d have loved to have read a little about her thoughts and the set-up of the shot! Great choice, Holli.
