Great pics here, thank you all! Just made a comment on Klondike's Flickr site about the painting party pics aka "dumpster nudes", since I really enjoy the atmosphere and energy in those painting pics. They also bring back nice memories of a festival this summer, where I went to a bodypainting workshop. Getting painted and feeling the soft brushes and sponges all over you is a really nice feeling (well, almost all over, when it came to our private parts, we actually painted ourselves...).
Walking around naked on the festival grounds, showing off our paint jobs was quite a buzz
. I hadn't expected that people had their cameras with them, but they did. I was surprised at my own reaction to the cameras. It felt very flattering to be photographed and not the least bit awkward. I would never have thought that before! The other painted guys and girls didn't seem to mind the cameras either. We hung out in the outdoor café afterwards, mixing with the clothed people completely naturally. It was a great experience and if the festival is held next year, I'll definitely not miss the bodypainting workshop!
