This is Reality

James, the photographer I worked with on this, is primarily a fashion photographer. He wanted to branch into a different area, and I was his first nude shoot. He's insanely, cutely proud of this picture, because of the way it looks as though I was lifted directly from some old black and white film and plunked into the studio.

And, despite all my begging and pleading, he simply refuses to mess with my skin. So those of you who hated the processed look of the other nudes should like this. And those of you who thought I had great skin will now know better!

My ego may crumble under all this reality.
