six nude people in a group photo against a sandstone wall on the beach
Pomponio Beach 2009
This beach is a bit of a challenge to get to but we wanted to try it out with a few of us. After exploring the trails above the beach and scrambling along steep edges we finally made it down to this pristine beach that seemed to go on forever, north and south. Games, yoga poses and meeting the challenge of the cold surf made the day crystallize into a stellar nude freedom experience.

Nomad's Notes

At the time of this outing I had already shot a lot of video at various events but had not edited anything yet. I really was not sure how I would put it all altogether. Would it all go into one big massive video of a bunch of outings? Would the scenes be part of a documentary with interviews etc? Now, a few years later I have found that usually each event edits together fairly nicely into it's own movie. I only had one photographer with me this day because I didn't want cameras in the scenes and wanted to just focus on getting great video. We did end up using this same beach again for a Beach Bodyfest event.
