Nue York: Self Portraits of a Bare Urban Citizen by Erica Simone
This idea isn't entirely new (as Spencer Tunick fans can well attest), but I hope we can agree that her execution if flawless. She's a young, talented, twentysomething photographer who happens to be drop-dead gorgeous. She also apparently enjoys taking self-portraits, and being naked in public in those self-portraits. Voila.

Seriously, her twist is somewhat unique, and I think extremely sexy. According to her statement on the web site, even though she's the model, she actually shoots all the photos herself, with the help of a shutter release. So here we have a girl taking pictures of herself nude in public. It's art, it's sexy, it's sexy art. What's not to love?
Oh, and she's also a pretty good photographer. These are some pretty cool shots, and not just because she's naked in them. And her other stuff is good as well. Just google her name and you can see her other (less naked) work.
I was going to put this in the Free Sites section, but to avoid the "can anybody save these?" comments, I just did the heavy lifting for you guys and posted them below. The photos on her site are fairly small, but whenever possible I substituted larger images found on other sites. As far as I can tell, these are all the photos of the series that are currently available, but I would love to be proved wrong.
