Made for a dear friend Vicki who was celebrating her baby shower for baby boy #2! Ivory fondant draping and store bought gumpaste lilies.
This, the result of the Nor'Easter, caused my property more damage than Sandy. Still, nothing compared to the shore...
This is a pretty special roll for me. Lots of cool pictures and happiness. Also some pics of me taken but others.
From an Olympic Summer in 2012 after graduating. It was a cracker.

It's always interesting trying to figure out how my photos fit within the safety level on flickr. Boobs, for example, are subject to a wide variety of different opinions as to their offensiveness.
I think that fair's fair. If it's OK to see a male naked chest, it's OK to see a female naked chest. And, just like it's still OK to see a chubby guy with a hairy chest in public, it's also still OK for women to nurse in public without harassment.
Naturally, one might assume that I'm just expressing this opinion because I want to see women walking around topless all the time. Maybe that's true. But I like the idea of the "Topfree equality movement" anyway. And I like that there's a different term than just "topless".
Art often refers to visceral, basic needs. Fire, to celebrate that which we harnessed to go from mildly intelligent monkey-things to industrious humans. Harvest and hunting and gathering, to celebrate that which allows us to continue to exist. And the presence of boobs in art goes all the way back to the beginnings of art with the Venus figurines. All with enlarged abdomens, hips, breasts, thighs, and vulva. All major and important parts of the baby-making factory that women end up carying around.
One must respect the bits and bobs of the baby-making factory. Do you think we could fit a fully-automated semiconductor fab to make robots in that small and compact of a package?
So I'm content to show bare breasts on models that are comfortable to have them shown. But does this offend everybody else? Hard to say. My new boss tells a story with a punch line of "Had I seen you surfing porn at work, that would be OK. But browsing for new toilets? That's just wrong!" Personally, I think that the hand-bra shots that people use to get around the shock and horror of seeing bare nipples are more offensively erotic.

Thanks for looking!
It snowed for the first time this winter in the Boston suburbs today. This photo is to celebrate! I used Orton on the curtains and window only and sharpened the trees a bit.

The figure stands upright, with shoulders at the same level, the right foot slightly advanced, and the right knee slightly bent. She wears a thin chiton, and is covered almost to the ankles with a thick mantle, the ends of which are thrown over the left shoulder. The right arm, entirely covered, is bent, and the hand projects under the mantle, near the right breast. The left hand is free and is held forwards. The simple pose and the severe treatment of the mantle suggest early Greek types.
By comparison with a replica with unbroken head (now in Berlin), replica which is an undoubted Roman copy of a Greek original of the first half of the 5th century BC, this statue, dating to the 1st century BC, could be identified as 'Aspasia'. The Berlin 'Aspasia' has been attributed by Furtwangler to the Attic School 480-460 BC (Calamis).
The head, which is a female portrait of the early third century, looks slightly to left. The eyes have iris and pupil incised. The hair is parted in the center, carried down the sides with regular waves to the back, where it is twisted into a coil. The face has some likeness to the portraits of Orbiana, the wife of the emperor Severus Alexander.
