Why I would like to be a part of this project?……….For most of my adult life, I have hated having photos taken of me. I really have disliked looking at myself in photos – just a frozen moment where I can now spend countless amounts of time scrutinizing and criticizing every inch of myself – over and over again. I would like to be done with that part of my life – I want to look at myself and see me for the beautiful woman that I am………..  What about this project speaks to me?………. Well the nudity and womanly beauty – it is so honest and pure………..How do I think I would benefit?……….I have looked at my naked self as an object – something for someone else. I want to see my naked self for me and as me. I want to love my body and myself……….. The inspiration that I can contribute is of rebirth and renewal. At 46 I want to become new inside – I want to accept myself, my body and my aging with strength and grace and no judgments. My story?………. On top of what I have written so far – I have recently become clean and sober after many years of alcohol and marijuana use and abuse. I feel as though I have been reborn. I was so dead inside for the last few years – numb to the world – sleep walking – invisible. I have set myself free and want to shout it from the mountain tops – I am alive – I am free………..
