If nothing else, think of it as wildlife photography. Take your pics but keep your distance and do not interact.

There are plenty of adult (post-college) events open to the public where anyone can get naked: WNBR, Fremont, B2B, etc. If you want to join in one, please do so... and take lots of pics.
Flanker, I sympathize with your position, but you have to admit, wherever there is nudity in public, there will likely be cameras. The Tufts and Harvard runs as well as UVM and Berkeley were as highly publicized as the Naked Mile, but they still continue. Unfortunately students that can attend, don't post pictures. I think, just like photographers at Nude Beaches, we need to encourage photographers at all nude events....with one caveat. Be discreet. Don't disrupt the run, don't hit on the coeds, be as unobtrusive as possible; if you can rig up a hidden camera do it. I doubt that OCC members contributed to the demise of the Naked Mile - more likely others that had read about it and decided to bring their high powered cameras and act confrontationally to disrupt the activities - similar to issues not occurring at WNBR rides. So, my request, if you can go - go. And take pictures - very discreetly.
