I’m a nude photographer, sometimes literally, as befitting a nudist (if shooting with a fellow nudist or nude-friendly people), but I mean more so that I like to shoot nudes. Because of the social attitudes that surround nudity, that can cause some confusion and misconceptions to people who do not…

On the beauty of a supposed “flaw”. In my view, a feature to be celebrated. I just love stretch marks. They add that little fizz of something to the body that is fairly unique on humans — We’re so plain and smooth otherwise, even those of us on the hairier…

A poem seeking to imagine a clothing optional world. What if we were naked? Just an everyday normal thing? Would the world fall apart, If bodies were free? Would our eyes burn in fear, Should less fabric reveal, Bodies are near? We’re all the same, in a basic way, The same…
