im doing a photo shoot today for a photographer on morbidly obesity, yes im going nude, and NO i have never done this before although i drew naked people, its for a museum/exhibit piece and our photos will have displayed a couple of lines that we put on a questionairre about how we feel about our bodies... My body is temporary like all things in life...not really nervous just excited...Plus, once i get the band i want this to be a reminder that even though I may have been bigger i should have respect and love myself regardless...ok...leaving now...ttyl!

Hey i just got home, so the photo shoot went really well. it was done by a guy named Sandro,,,please check his work www.sandrofilm.com

he does REALLY great photos too, so basically he introduced me to a couple of people and was really really nice. So he told me to go in and change, cause i brought a robe and as i was getting undressed omg i did feel a little nervous but more excitement than anything.

So he comes back and tells me to take the robe off and to stand on this one stand where his assistant was nearby but he wasnt watching me hehe. So then he took a couple of pics to get a lighting feel, and then began the 7 min photo shoot. As i was standing there i was looking around the huge studio, and im like omg what the F$*# am i doing here? hehe but really i was just excited, so then it was over, got dressed and we had talked. I do voices and showed it to them and he was laughing, and one of his assitants gave me a number to model managment that also does voice work, so i will call them. I filled out a questionnaire and he told me about another project he would want me to be in which i will be in too, today was a learning experience and a OMG really did that?! haha he will send pics and it will also be in a book. The photo will have me and my answers to what i wrote about my body, and it will be displayed near or around my body in the picture but my face will be blurred so no worries.

He told me i was really good and that i was the first man to do this, Reference to like bigger men but i was excited, cause he siad other men were more sensitive about their body than women, i had done this around 9 30 am this morning, I feel good and my mom and family were all surprised and happy for me

hehe

What a thing to put on a resume, eh?

ROFLMAO!!!! You are AWESOME!!! And remind me so much of my son!!! Now I feel old!!! He is also a really great writier...because he is not afraid to say what he really feels....and I see that in you too! AND you're open to new things...!!! He took a couple classes online from the Gotham Writing School of New York and loved it. He does stand up comedy and improv in State College, PA and Open Mike sessions with his music. Bravo for having the (excuse the expression and no pun intended) "balls" to do it!!! The universe is yours!!!

... he said other men were more sensitive about their body than women...

I don't know about that! However, women are used to being the object of the male (and female) gaze. Not long ago the Guerrilla Girls activist group pointed out that only 5% of the art in the Metropolitan Museum of Art was created by women, but nearly 90% of the nudes depicted were female bodies. Not to dismiss male sensitivity about the body -- but I think if you ask most of the women here on LBT you'll find that we're very sensitive indeed about our body shape, naked or clothed.

OK, off soapbox. You're a brave guy. How excellent that you might get some voice-over work out of this -- and you can wear clothes for that job (if you want).

One Too Many, are you an Aussie? And have you ever had a group of white-coated medical residents stare at you while you're naked in a hospital room? "Thrilling" isn't the word that comes to mind!
