Bare

bitterlawngnome shot some studio photos of me on Saturday, and has posted four of them. Here is the set on Flickr. Some nudity is involved, so don't look if you would find it offensive or inappropriate. His LJ posts from this set are friends-only, but I'm posting a link for my own reference: starting with this one.

I used to post a lot of nude photos on the web. In the past two years, as my libido declined, I lost interest in doing so. I'm not ashamed of it, but don't always know how to respond to the attention generated. Lately my energy has been flowing in other directions.

But I still cannot resist the opportunity to model for a camera, especially with a great artist like Bill behind it.

Yes, and I love them. I wouldn't mind people seeing them; but I'm ambivalent about posting the more explicit ones here. It's hard to explain why. Lately I've been blogging more about writing, ideas and the creative process, and my naked body feels like too much of a distraction. Maybe that's fucked up. Maybe I need to just post some photos and blog about my ambivalence.

Anyway I like best the ones you already posted.

This made me laugh out loud. I feel like that's all I manage to contribute to my journal in terms of artwork. The latest is a perfect example.
