Gallery coming back soon! Yes, we are back to that nice spot in the Garden of Eden, as it is called here near Santa Cruz, California. Three girlfriends take the trail down into the valley and find a private spot along the river to be free of clothes for the afternoon.

Spencer had a party at his place and along with Kitty (who had been on several trips before) there were also Natasha and Ahna there and photos were shown of a nude modelling studio shoot the three of them had done recently. Kitty told her friends they should join us some time. In an off-hand way I said "OK what about this weekend?" And next thing you know it was all planned. It turned out no one else could go, so it was just the 3 of them and Spencer and I shooting. He shot stills and I shot video. I love shooting on-the-fly, trying to be spontaneously creative and letting things evolve without too much direction. You can tell the women did a lot of modelling because that's the pattern they fell into. I had hoped for something more natural. That video footage still waits to be edited some day. At the start, I asked Kitty to pretend that she was reticent about taking clothes off just to inject some kind of "drama" into the sequence. Of course she is just the opposite so it was quite silly. As you look through the photos realize that often I am just behind a big rock shooting from another angle, or just outside of frame having been cropped out for this sequence. There are actually 4 images where you can see the microphone if you look closely at the side. At the very end there is a kind of short bonus sequence that took place on the main trail near the railway tracks. I was a bit behind and suddenly noticed that everyone ahead was getting naked again! This is not something I would allow on the main trail as it could get us into some trouble - but no one asked me. If you are wondering who the guy is, it's Kitty's boyfriend at the time. Luckily no one else came along the trail during those few moments.
