Undecided
The future of Nude-Muse was always in jeopardy when the whole covid thing hit the world. Without going into political things, it has been a long hard road since. My wife and I made a decision to move 6hrs from the city into the wild on 25 acres and start life anew. There was nothing here except a couple of old shed an old wooden house and a water tank that was barely holding together. Since 2021 when we moved the place has turned into our sanctuary from the world.
A lot of my time has been eaten up by working the land and learning how to exist so far from civilisation. A lot of successes and failures as well, but learning all the same. However my love for art and photography and the nude form has and will always stay with me. It is a core part of who I am. I remember the very first time I saw a real life actual bare breast. I was still in 6th grade and we had a student teacher who wore a very loose dress and no bra. When she leaned over to help with something, there it was, a wonderful sight I will never forget. It just hung there in all its glory just mere centimetres from my face.”
My aim since covid was to get back into photography, but there has been so many barriers. Distance being the number one. Access to models due to that distance, BUT it hasn’t stopped me from working toward achieving one day, more photo-shoots. It has and will always be on my agenda. I have many ideas, that I still want to explore and photograph. There is a wealth of beauty here that could fill many months of photo-shoots. Summer rain, winter fog, amazing sunsets over mountains, sunrises streaming through trees, creeks, hills, farms and forests. All begging to be photographed. However my creativity has found another outlet till I can get back into photography once more.
Ai is both a blessing and curse for many people. I sit on the fence. However it has allowed me to keep going with my creative side. Is it perfect? No. Do I miss the interaction and banter with models while I work, Yes, but Ai still lets me explore ideas I could never have done in real life. AI is not here to replace my work, it is here to supplement it.
My long term aim is to continue both Ai and hopefully actual photography. Ai also allows me to follow my creative writing, by fixing grammar and putting together a far more coherent story that makes sense and is more easy to read. It isn’t here to replace, but to assist in my creativity.
Before I retire I want do the last two photo shoots on film, as that is how I started my career. The very last one will be black and white film as that was the very first medium I ever used.
So hopefully that paints a better picture of where I am aiming to go. Of course life is full of surprises and the world is throwing a lot of challenges at us all, and we do our best to work around them, and in some cases try to outwit them. I hope to keep Nude-Muse going for as long as possible and hopefully some of you will stick around to see where this journey goes or drop by every now and then to see the progress. Best wishes to all the wonderful people that have come on the journey with me over the past 20+ years. Hope to see you all into the future.
In the mean time here is “22 year old Collette” who has helped me go from undecided to fully committed to the journey, a journey that maybe slower then I would like, but it is still progressing forward.
Collette doesn't have a "models page", but she does have a members only gallery that you can view HERE
Just to be abundantly clear....none of these "women" exist in real life. They are 100% computer generated by Ai. All the Ai "models" are generated to represent "women" who are over 18 years of age.
