I would have loved the shot regardless, but the model commentary is perfect. Thanks for including that.

I mean it about nsfw. At the risk of completely reversing all of the tolerant goodwill I have builtup with my recent nude shots, I present, well ... this. Wait! Before I give you the link, I'd just like to explain how this happened. I was about to ask her to change into a different outfit while I altered the lighting when she said to me, "Let me just try this one thing. *Flip* Okay, shoot." Finally, I'll give you this quote from the model herself whose idea this was, and whose retouch/edit this is too: "I really liked this shot from the start, for its not-quite-there playful slightly off not quite elegant not quite proper not quite anything childishness. Like raw childishness, not pretty cute childishiness. Don't know how to explain. Possibly one of the best portraits of myself. I was always not quite there, slightly off, feminine but not quite, but yet inescapably so, weird, queer, tomboy but not looking like one, dancing, not belonging/belonging, almost pretty, capable but still clumsy etc.. :P And this shot shows it all. It's such a silly, silly tutu handstand. :P Complete with stocking, heels, tummy, weird not quite there hair. And feels like polaroid. Even if I am the only one who likes it, I will love it till the end. :P" http://off-axis.brucemwalker.com/post/67524408427 Comments guardedly welcome. :-)
