Backyard

You know, of all the places I have photographed nudes in public, the one that scared me the most was making photographs in my own backyard.

That seems silly and dumb in retrospect, but there was something very frightening about making a spectacle of myself, and the model, in my own home.  With most locations I can just run away when we are done, never to return.  The two of us can be anonymous quite easily.  

Not so in my home.  Anyone who catches us knows exactly how to find me.  

I am fairly certain at least one neighbor spied our activities from behind the fence but they have always been far too polite to mention it.
