Again with the naked photo

Sun bath

Scene: Lakeside room in an old mountain inn.

Spouse: Didn't we already do a naked photo?
Me: That was last summer.
Spouse: And ... the summer before.
Me: See, it's a tradition!

Spouse: Just tell me what to do.
Me: Steady yourself against this wall.
Spouse: Where's the camera?
Me: You need to be lower.
Me: I set up the shot, but you're a lot taller.
Me: Just crouch down.
Me: About a foot.
Spouse: Oh, THIS is comfortable.

Me: Make sure you get some of the wall — and my toes on this side.
Spouse: Oh, this looks TOTALLY natural.
Me: I sit like this all the time.
Him: Completely naked?
Me: Got any better ideas?
Spouse: Stay still.

Spouse: Hey, I can see you in the TV screen.
Spouse: It looks like you're watching porn.
Spouse: Full frontal nudity.
Me: DON'T INCLUDE THE TELEVISION SET!
Spouse: It's a funny shot.
Me: They shouldn't have a television set here.
Spouse: So you want to pretend it's not here.
Me: Exactly.

Spouse: Turn away more.
Me: Like this?
Spouse: I'm seeing breasts.
Me: How about this?
Spouse: Lean back so I can get the edge of your face.
Me: You aren't supposed to get my face!
Spouse: It's just the edge. The light looks nice.
Me: But I'm supposed to be looking out the window.
Spouse: Because yeah, you always stare out the window naked.
Me: Just take the picture.
Spouse: I already did.

"I'm seeing breasts"

And that's a bad thing?

"Just tell me what to do."

He's completely resigned to your weirdness.

You guys are funny.

If you had turned around you would probably have seen SUCH a hairy eyeball aimed your way. At least, I would have it had been me and MY spouse! :D

You read my mind! I was just thinking about nude photos yesterday. And ....BAM!

He needs practice, though, that Spouse guy.

See ya at Dead Lefthanded Guitarist Chapel in a couple hours.

Awesome pic... your vacation sounds wonderful. I am sure we are somewhat kinderedly related. I am soooo non directional and not so good with left and right either, by the way.
Special little note... when I first glanced at my list of bloggers and their recent blog titles I saw "Again with the Naked POTATO". And, it really made me chuckle!

Loved the conversation ~ made me laugh. :D Beautiful light in the shot. And if you're off on vacation in your own room, why not look out the window naked if you can? ;-)
