What would you photograph if there were no limits or fears in doing so?

[Speed]

I'd photograph people. I'm not sure if Willem is still around but I'd love to know what goes on in his mind when he photographs those people.

Words matter. Maybe it's a regional thing, but here in the south, we differeniate between various terms. Let me explain:

Naked: Means you are without apparel

Nude: Means you are naked, but it's artistic

Nekkid: Means you are naked, but you're up to something ;-)

Just so we all understand.

Great thread Trevor!

I might also add that as long as you shoot your nude, naked, or nekkid pics in black & white, they'll be artistic. Same thing seems to go for photos of fruit. Funny how that happens.

Black and white + nude = artistic

So, if I convert my nudes to grayscale, they're artistic.

Got to love it!

Well here in the midwest, (I guess I can't speak for everyone, but...) "nekkid" is sorta the "embarrassed" way to say "without clothes". "Naked" is said by confident people. "Nude" is what the artsy-fartsy people say.

"Being up to something" has a vocabulary all its own.

Nekkid, Naked, and Nude mean different things to different folks.

Embarrassed, Confident, Artsy-Fartsy = Midwest

Up to something, Without apparrel, Artistic = South

Anyone else want to chime in on your regional (or personal) definitions?

in adinaland...

naked = any body part which may be uncovered... i.e. naked feet, naked belly, so on

nudie butt = anyone completely devoid of clothing

nekkid = what my military inlaws say

Keep in mind, everything here is generally on a 3-5 yr old level

[Spike]

LOL! I like that one.
