Hehe... I have a personal story about Richard Simmons that makes me smile to this day, but it's better told than written, so perhaps I'll remember it another day.

I think all bodies can be beautiful, it's about finding the lines and the curvatures. I spent the better part of the time I was in California doing 'Life Art' with nudes of both genders and all shapes and sizes. Sometimes I think it desensitized me from a genitalia-specific awe, to an appreciation for things like shoulders, necks, even armpits... yes they can be beautiful, too. And being able to commit it to paper, or print, or film - that's where my fascination lies.

I have stacks of good stuff and crap, and it's dawned on me that some of it needed to be better protected before I left. Perhaps on my next visit home.
