Anyway. For those confused souls wondering what the hell is going on...

The photographer Spencer Tunick came to town at the weekend.

http://www.spencertunick.com/

I decided to join in. It is not every day you can be part of a work of art.

Plus it is not every day you get to mingle for three hours with 900 naked women is it? :twisted:

I promise I didn't stare though. Much.

As a footnote, this is the only picture of Katie Price on the internet, where she's fully clothed. I know for a fact, 'cos I looked at all the others to make sure. :s022:

You know. Twice today people have labelled me (and the other people taking part) as an "exhibitionist".

I suppose there will always be people that don't understand. Usually the same ones that don't understand art.

But you would think this one point would occur to them.

If we were exhibitionists....why would we pose at dawn on a cold Sunday morning (my nuts shrunk with the cold) with no-one around and the streets blocked off instead of the middle of the afternoon when it was hot and people could watch?

These will be the people who play it safe in life Dave. They’ll never understand striving for new experiences, or doing something interesting and creative with their lives. Better to stay home and watch the soaps on TV.

They probably drive Fiat Cinquatento’s too.

One of the resulting photographs. Not my favorite but is the print each of the 1,700 of us got for taking part.

Hey dave in that first pic you posted is that the bridge that folds up to allow bots to pass under it that has been showed on the discovery channel since they had to use a huge crane on the water to put it in?

Yep. That is the one. Very cool bit of metalwork when you look at it. They lift the bridge a couple of times a day for tourists to watch.

The crane that lifted it into place is the biggest floating crane in the world I think? It was a tight fit moving the whole lot up the river. The bridge sometimes coming within feet of lamp posts etc. When the crane dropped the bridge into position it was within 2mm from exact centre or something like that. Very accurate piloting anyway.
