Nude With Tree

This image was created in Photoshop from a picture I took in 1975 on a grassy hillside beneath a huge oak tree in Woodland Hills, California.

Earth, tree, and human, all one, integral to each other.

Yes, 30 years ago I used to photograph naked women like I do birds, bees, and flowers today, all the same thing really, just the beauty of nature.

I was still in my 20s then, relentlessly creative, indefatigable, and hopelessly enchanted by the graceful form of the opposite sex.

I hope some of you enjoy this little excursion into my artsy-fartsy side today.

I have several versions of this, but aside from the original photo, this is my favorite. And your compliment is greatly appreciated, especially coming from a woman of uncommon photographic talent with one of the best blogs going. Thank You!; 1:23 PM

: Name: Jim; Location: of Jim and Peg's Habitat Home, High In The Mountains Of Southern California

We are a car-free retired couple living in a small 950 sq ft mountain cabin on less than 1/4 acre at 6,750 ft elevation. The native plant habitat we established on the property now exceeds 100 species and we grow organic vegetables on a small portion of the yard. In our continuing efforts toward simple, sustainable and rewarding lives we bid our last car "Good Riddance" in January of 1997. Earth Home Garden represents what we love in life; our bountiful planet EARTH and all her natural diversity; our cozy little cabin HOME and the family it has sheltered for 29 years; and the GARDEN around us which nurtures so many native creatures and helps feed us as well. It's our PLACE TO BE........... ***NOTICE*** Unless otherwise stated, all photos and text posted here are the copyrighted property of Jim Otterstrom, who hereby grants permission to re-print or re-publish his work, freely, for non-commercial purposes, so long as it is un-altered and credit is given.
