RePost: new thread B/W+skin=being artistic

She wants <i>more</i> of our bodies!!

- grin - :D

the problem I'm having here is not being able to "zoom in" as well as I want with my little p&s digi. Plus I'm finding it hard to set up interesting lighting in here!

There, there's my excuses :)

That was pure rebellion.

;-)

OK, and I figured the "no nipple" part didn't really apply to men, because, we're men. Who cares about seeing a man's nipple?

The other thing I learned in the military was how to interept things.

Wait, I kinda like it that way...

Yeah, they make it sound like we are constantly showing off our physiques!

Not that they are complaining about the view, just the frequency. :-O

I also agree with you 100% - I prefer the girl's pictures too!

But you forgot to convert it to B&W!

Nat will give you a bad bunny for that. ;-)

your shot was the discussion over dinner that and adina's and the fact my hubby thought it was well executed but he got a totally like cold feeling from it like he was intruding on a bad moment or something....as he described it ...it's like he was looking in on a girl who had just been thru a rough situation...it was the position and the starkness of the light.. He said he liked it but in a "bothered" type of way...interesting how that shot hits two different people...
;)

he needs no urging...especially when the subject is his body...geesh...you have no idea what you've started...

he's probably hanging upside down from the ceiling trying to get a shot
:D

we also talked about that...and THAT is what I want to learn to convey if I ever had the chance to do more...

Whose? Mine and Adina's? Or just Adinas?
If he thought mine evoked a cold feeling, that is what I got from it when I saw the shot with my face included.

Does this further exemplify the uncomfortable cold feeling?
My original, contrast tweaked, cropped, desaturated, levels adj. and a lighting effect added.
( I already have shoddy lighting in the bathroom, so I had to work this one quite a bit.)
Wanted to originally use the door from the closet to create the peeped look, but wasn't working out well, trying to get that with the lighting effect added here (like a door had been cracked open)

Anyway, this was fun! Thanks Nat :)

I didn't figure out how to hang upside down but here's my next round of portraits - please - and I'm being serious now - tell me if I'm getting warm here.

Cuz you know I wouldn't mind going and shooting some more if I haven't gotten it right yet :D

All are of my back and arms, no butts boobs or reproductive organs ;) :

NOW THATS WHAT IM TALKIN BOUT!

I appreciate that!

Last one of the night.

(I said, for today) :p

I took a butt shot too that's pretty effective but I'll save that for a "later" post :)

Here's my non-sexual self again:

WHY BE ASHAMED??? TOO THIN/TOO SHORT/ TOO HEAVY/TOO ????? .....no such thing in my opinion :)

People shouldn't be ashamed of their body(though I DON'T go nude myself) because SOCIETY SAYS YOU ARE NOT PERFECT!!!!!!!!!

LOVE THY SELF!!!!!!

but come on..... my chest is GREAT :)

the request was NO IMAGES OF, not NO IMAGES WITH SHADOWS OF.....

BESIDES, IF YOU POST IT WITH THE TITLE" NC17" those who don't ....won't ;)

THAT's what I'm talking about
:)

It's a deal :) Gene is a VERY wise man to tell his wife she is still beautiful :)


But , I must tell you that I was 187 Lbs of lean muscle 4 years ago, now I am 169 Lbs. My chest went from a hill to a valley :o

I will get an image this weekend, as I am running out the door for a few days at the lake house ;)

That first one confuses me. Is that your back or arms? Or both? I thought it was your butt at first, but since you stated it wasn't..... :)

adina

talked about my nude body any more with complete strangers than I have in the last 3 days.

Does this constitute as cheating? :)

Adina the progression was back: arm: back: arm so the first one is my back.

I don't normally walk around with it flexed like that though :p

Thanks for looking! I'm gonna go take some humility pills now :D

I SEE IT!!

Once you said it was flexed, it finally clicked.

I've got one but I need to determine from someone if it's too much. Who do I ask?
