Want to get nekkid for nature? Bay Area photographer Jack Gescheidt has been photographing naked people draped among some of the region's most gorgeous trees as part of a nature advocacy project he calls Treespirit.
One part Spencer Tunick, famous for his installations of hundreds of nude people in public spaces, another part Eliot Porter, photographer of exquisitely elegant nature images, Gescheidt's images are aesthetically beautiful and deeply politically. All the people in the photographs are volunteers, and this Sunday, July 5, 2009, from 5-8pm you can participate in what will be a private, safe event.
Visit his site and contact him directly if you're interested in participating or just to see the gorgeous pictures and maybe buy a poster. Either way, tell him we sent you.

Where does Gescheidt find his nude models?? I have a hard time finding people that I will PAY to get naked for my projects!
And on another note, why do comments load sooooo slowly? (and often 'double up'?)

This photo is totally disturbing. Either this artist doesn't get what Tunick is doing or he wants us to think of WWII in Easter Europe.
You know, because cutting down a tree is like HITLER!
Looks like a good way to get poison oak.
