I think the photo is real. Personally, I prefer real images to those that are manipulated or curated to an unrealistic level.

What a wonderful image. Thank you for sharing.

I've slept naked for over 40 years, couldn't imaging sleeping any other way.

Not a bad idea, only problem is that I don’t really enjoy housework or decorating. But it might be a plan B.

Nudism/Naturism is serenity

25% is a good hit rate. I’m around 15 and maybe 20 on a good day.

And how many keepers? So many of the shots we take end up on the cutting room floor.

I do the local Parkrun photos, and even with a quick edit it can still take about 4 hours to sort, adjust, resize and post the images

The joy of photography, the editing and worrying over the slightest detail or adjustments that no one else is likely to notice. People think it’s just point and click. Photographers spend hours in front of computer screens.

There are plenty of sites by nudists, for nudists, and we should all support them, but none have the immediacy or ease of use of the big social platforms.

You say you really want to write. As a blogger, my advice to you is to write. It doesn't matter if you share or not. If you decide to share, you may be surprised by how many people read it. If you don't share, then at least you will have done the thing you want to do.

So did I.

Thank you

I prefer the B&W, but I would crop it differently, giving more space in front of the model. Just my opinion.

When you have nothing to wear, wearing nothing should be a perfectly valid clothing choice.

Well it has New Zealand and Australia the wrong way around. It is not illegal to be naked in New Zealand, but it is in some parts of Australia. I suggest it’s not very well researched.

I am just re-reading the HHG books, just finished the restaurant at the end of the universe. This is my favourite theory of evolution, that we are descended from the useless section of another society, which crash landed on our planet and displaced the original inhabitants. It explains so much.

I have recently quit my toxic day job, without another job to go to. I will have to get a job, but I need to rebalance and reset first. I genuinely wish you both find something. soon, and that you can remove some of the stress. Self-care is so important.
