IMPRESSIONS are what you think...

Impressive, but how can one sit with such a presence; either one of them?

Some folks complain, "Why is this woman so bored?" 
"How could she not smile?"

In my mind I ask other questions.

"Why should the model be expected to be smiling, and appearing gay and witty in the presence of so powerful a Medicine, a wild creature? Wouldn't that be rather trite? Why such an expectation from critics of photographers who pose models in provocative and challenging settings? What does it say about the viewer? What does it reveal about some viewer's ability, or inability to sit in another person's point of view, of reference? 

Hmmm... Makes a thinker think." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 3.27.13

PHOTOGRAPHER EXPOSES THE NYC EXPERIENCE, HERSELF

By Marina Galperina | March 23, 2011 - 11:40AM

Begging for change on Houston Street nude, browsing books at the NYU Library nude, buying a street hot dog nude – photographer Erica Simone created this series of self-portraits exposing herself all over New York City doing typical New York City things. Twenty photographs from Nue York are presented at Damon Dash’s gallery as evidence. See some below (NSFW) and… UPDATE: Erica Simone herself tells ANIMAL how she didn’t get arrested doing this.

Her philosophy? “Just being.” Her technique? Well, that’s kind of obvious. Her shockingly nonchalant approach and the ability to take self-portraits (with a timer?) while riding nude on a motorcycle through Tribeca? Impressive.

YET TO Discover

"The spirit still has something for us to discover: an herb, a sprig, a flower-a very small flower; maybe you can spend a long time in its contemplation, thinking about it." ~Lame Deer, LAKOTA
