I love it, I love it.  As the original poster of the "ad" may I say that.....












you have all been had!  The posting was posted just to see what sort of
reactions would be obtained.  I had the feeling that this group was just 
about dead, last summer when the weather was great this group had only 
about 1 or 2 postings a week.  Finally there is some traffic.  And, a lot
of good philosophical questions have come out about the purposed of nudity,
the interests of each member, etc.  Good questions have come up also about
what are the feelings of persons on a clothes optional beach when someone
shows up with a camera vs individual rights vs first amendment rights, etc.

However, may I suggest that the discussions continue, as there obviously 
are some strong feelings over the subject of nude modeling (no, I do not
really photograph nude models -- not that I would pass up the opportunity
if it presented itself -- I do not even have a 35mm camera that is operational)
particularly those who object to it on the grounds of indecency!  I find the
contradiction in when nudity to be obscene or indecent to be hilarious coming
from a group of supposedly nudist (naturalists).
