great idea---perfect solution---you are 100% right NOMAD--99.9% of the beach folk on Gunnison will support you
: : : I think this sight should require EVERY photographer that submits photos here, to post a NUDE photo of himself.
: : Good idea. That way folks like Dune Devil who sneak pictures on Gunnison beach and post them on the WWW will have to confront hoards of angry men.
: I have been bugging Cocco about this for years. And it has lead to why I am working my ass off trying to pull the Photozella gathering/event together. I figure there are people who don't mind being photographed or WANT TO be photographed and if you create a kind of beach party where they can all come together, have fun, shoot some photos, then everyone has a good time plus we get some incredible images of the lifestyle we all love. Everyone has to be nude, including people with cameras and of course they get in each other's pictures too. So everyone is a subject and a photographer at the same time. Everyone who comes will have previously signed a release that indicates that they fully understand what it is all about and where the images will appear.
: A large part of the event includes some fine art nude shooting. So we will have some pro photographers and some women (and a few men) interested in modelling. BTW one of the pro photographers is a woman. And several of the female models have said they are bringing cameras to practice photography. I know many Coccozella members do not go for "posed" shots but it really depends on the style of shooting of each photographer. Some have a loose casual approach that does not look posed. And there will be plenty of group events that will be covered too.
: I have not yet posted a gallery from Photozella-1 because I have been concentrating on getting a group registered for photozella-2 in september. There were planning and logistical problems with the first one, so it was small. I still got about 10 galleries worth of lovely material and it should start appearing soon. I already have about 30 people M/F 50/50 registered for the next one and I've really only just begun.
: If you think you might want to come out, please check out the site. I will be adding a Photozella-1 page and an additional info page in the coming weeks. All the images on the site are from the first event in May.
: I am looking for people who can help on the day, everything from lugging things down to the beach to keeping things organized and providing transport.
: I also need activity leaders or people who have something they want to perform or lead the group in. It could be a sport, a contest, an activity, yoga, dance, bodypainting, etc
