Request: Wreck Beach Bare Buns Run

The beach is a great place; full of life. The venders are there everyday. It's like a city within a city with a culture of its own. Love it. And yes, the run is, I think, the only time where cameras are in the open. Except, of course, for Wreck Beach Day (and the skinny dipping world record attempts) when hundreds pose for a group shot.

The photographer is freelance and, I believe, he sells photographs to chinese language websites and newspapers; In Canada and Hongong. I gather he is Canadian but I never spoke with him. There are other non-censored photos of 2009 and other years including ones taken at the finish line. Watermelon is a local celebrity and she was very good at motivating the runners.

You say there are other non-censored photos from 2009 and other years. Can you post them here or link to them?

They were on a chinese language news site. They have either been taken down or replaced with censored photos. Sadly I don't have the address.

Got it. But you saved them to your hard drive, right? Can you post them? If they have watermarks, you can't post the pics directly, but you can put them in a rar or zip file and post them in that format, as I've down twice above.

I realize this started as a thread where you requested more pics from the OCC community, and now ironically I'm requesting pics from you, but that's kind of how it works. I started off as a longtime lurker on this board, and started posting when I figured out that the more you share, the more people are willing to go out of their way to share with you.

Thanks in advance for posting whatever you have. As I said, I'm continuing to search for others.

Well, no, you can't. I had to remove the RARs. Sorry.

You can, however, host them off site at Rapidshare or Multiupload and post the link here. But that's the extent to which we allow posting watermarked pics here.

Thanks for the correction. I apologize for misunderstanding the policy. This is probably the first time I needed to post something of that sort and it's probably been a couple years since I read the posting guidelines.

So with that in mind, I am still hoping that marina austin can post those pics to either this board or rapidshare and link them here. Marina if you need any help with that process please just ask.

In the meantime, I reposted the two rars to my rapidshare.

For me the link worked perfect just to see only the pics, because i refused to install the Chinese language set. (I hope to could communicate on this board also in the future with the English language )
May be that was the problem. I tried once the tineye picsearch with every singel pic if there are bigger pics and if there are other sources for pics from this event, but sadly has no luck.

[marina austin]

Could find only one

[marina austin]

Found two more.

Sorry they are small and somewhat edited

[flanker7]

Thanks for the effort. As I think you know these last two are available in unedited but watermarked versions in the rar I posted above.

Disappointing that the photographer clearly has plenty more photos that have only been posted online in censored format.

Maybe one of our photographers who lives in the Pacific Northwest and photographs public nudity events could email him and suggest a trade? Do we know anyone that fits that description, Klondike?

I'm just getting up to speed here having been away for a few days.

Just what do we have here in the way of pics available to us, and pics that are not available to us? I was at the race last year. There were three girls running who called themselves the "Jiggles squad". They were fantastic! I would love to see pics of them. There were many people there with cameras taking pics, but I was told most were friends or acquaintances of runners. Several of the photographers were Asian.

great find - I'm just trying to figure out all this back and forth posting over the past few days right now..
