Half or more of mine were Joe, but I thought we weren't gonna talk gear.

The best camera is one that still works!
Carol has long since worked out that if she gets her gear off I become the silent nude ninja ... she was totally uanaware that I had taken this shot until I showed her a print! 
Nudes when they're not posed and entirely spontaneous have a different quality IMO!

Of course posed and premeditated can be fun too!

This was the first nude I ever shot ... she was modeling for a 'life drawing' class and I was allowed to sit in with my camera.
I remember feeling incredibly nervous and very self conscious!

Full frontal nudity of women is o.k. but of men is pornographic? Now that's twisted logic.

Yeah I agree about the double standard. Maybe it should be that erect dicks are bad and limp ones are safe? ;-) And for women, spreading them is nasty and just hanging around is cool? I'd be good with that as a general standard of tastefulness.
These were with either my M6/40 Rokkor or IIIc/Elmar from this Summer. A lot of the work on my website was done with 4x5 rangefinders.
I really don't do that many photos that could be called nudes and I don't go out to shoot them on purpose, but when the model is semi-famous for being naked they tend to want to drop trou first because they are more comfortable being naked than in actually revealing anything of themselves. Nudes of your lover are quite another thing, but here I'm talking about women who are semi-professional nude models -- I think they use their nudity as a cover. I've done much more intimate photos of people I'm close to -- with all our clothes on.
That's why I don't respect most nude photography, no offense. I think we should shoot the hell out of our lovers and then whatever else comes along is just a novelty. However I am quite immature and there is still the rush of being a 16-year old boy at seeing some awesome titties ;-) If some strange girl wants to show me hers I don't say no.
That's my latest philosophical rambling about naked girl pix....
"Velocity" travels the USA to shoot and is paying for her computing science degree that way. Sash was one of the first Suicide Girls and answers the phone when you call to complain about Suicide Girls exploiting dumb wannbe 18-year old girls. Both have their junk plastered all over the internet.

My thinking exactly, and I like your little nude photo manifesto there, nicely put.

Joe,
RFF Country means to me the individuals who "live" here and not as much using RF cameras.

Damn, I am sorry to see people (even the originator of the idea) back to talking about equipment and not photographs.
I was hoping for a trend and not a one day breather.

Bob,
It may have been a slip ....
This thread is a good one. I did not expect it to be so good.
