Welcome to my new blog.  This blog, an extension of my Slices in Time blog, will feature only my nude photography.

Since this is my first post on the blog, it is only suitable that I should post my favorite archive image. This image has a story to it as most of the images I post on this blog will.  Sometimes they will be funny, sometimes thought-provoking, sometimes erotic and sometimes (as you will find out) shocking. One thing is certain; I will always try to make it  interesting to you, our readers. .

Back in 2005, Sharon and I attended an arts event called “Art In The Woods,” which featured buskers and artists from Windsor and area.  There we met a local film photographer named Bob Pope. He introduced us to his work, mostly a product of 35mm film. We took a business card, took a stroll and enjoyed the other artists and displays around the event grounds and finally went home.  We crossed paths with Bob again at a later date, at which time Sharon and I mentioned that were afficionados of nude photography and practiced creating nude images.  Bob, a man of good taste immediately  expressed interest in shooting Sharon if we were interested. As it turns out, we were.  We wanted to see how another photographer would see Sharon “through his eyes.” Bob secured a location; an old industrial building that used to be an army barracks, located on the corner Albert St. and Edna, in Windsor.  We met him for a nude photo shoot of Sharon.

The industrial building was full of character and the walls inside were painted silver; yes SILVER!  Bob, a member of the Arts Council – Windsor and Region proceeded to take some beautiful photos of Sharon in various states of dress and undress.

I wouldn’t be able to call myself a photographer if I didn’t bring my own camera.  As a matter of fact, I did.  I brought my new Canon “Digital Rebel” 300D digital SLR (my first dSLR) and my Canon 100-400mm stabilized lens. During a break in shooting, while Bob changed film, I took a shot of Sharon leaning against a pillar in the building.

The image I am talking about is, of course, the image at the top of this post.  It is titled “Industrial,” and has been a personal favorite of mine and Sharon’s ever since that day. I posted it on my Photo-A-Day site (feel free to google for it) and  I am proud to share the image with he readers of this blog.  If you would like to see a larger version of INDUSTRIAL, click on the image above.

Thanks for tuning in and stay tuned for future posts!
