Emerging again from the burning roots of Solstice
MAKER RENEWS
Feeling accumulated warmth...
Tasting fecundity in deep rich seasonal air...
Testing possibilities...
A new surge of life...
Contemplating a maturation in creativity!
Photo Essay by Mark Milroy & Gordon R Barnett
A friend & neighbor on Vashon Island, Mark Milroy, is a fine
photographer. In 2021 he proposed making a shoot of me in the old
Big-Leaf Maple which had quite a history hanging-out over our
Soundcliff's parking-pad -- offering both dangers and protections inside her delicate cavernous core. He envisioned posing me nude
in this tree.
I accepted what was a bit of a challenge. I am not
particularly shy... loving hot tubs & bath houses; having a lifetime's history of nude beaches, Faerie Gatherings & skinny tripping with friends in the waters of Oak Creek. I've known innumerable life-drawing sessions with nude models of all genders & I've even modeled in several groups where we exchanged roles as artist & model.
Even-so, this is another sort of "coming out" for me... publishing myself here!
