Jess and I have known one another for almost 10 years, and have drifted in and out of one another’s lives over time. We had talked about doing a nude photo shoot for a while, and we finally accomplished that in Santa Cruz, CA, back in 2003. These are some highlights. All photos were taken with a 6MP medium format Hasselblad film camera with a digital back. Most are un-edited. Full set here.

[update] In May of 2006, I was completing a great project using images taken during this photoshoot.  When I displayed one of the finished pieces, I caused a huge controversy at Home Resource’s annual Spontaneous Construction fundraiser.  Read about all of the fun here.
