I want to end today's posting with a big congratulations to the Fine Nudes blog. This month marks the one year anniversary of the site, and I think I can safely say that I can appreciate better than most just how much dedication and hard work goes into reaching a milestone like that. Congratulations Fine Nudes!

Art Nudes Reader and professional photographer Ricardo Alberto Leiva was one of the many of you who wrote in with a nice letter of support regarding the recent blogging headaches. Although there isn't a lot of figure work in portfolio, I couldn't resist posting it, especially when I discovered he's living in my home province of British Columbia.

Status Update

Status Update

I am still getting scattered reports of people not being able to get to the blog. Whether this is a result of false redirects, firewalls blocking people due to the new warning page, or even broader national level censorship issues, I don't know. I do know that traffic is still down significantly for this site and consequently for the sites I link to. I don't want to complain too much, because I'm still getting a pretty enviable visitation, but damn it, I hate the fact that readers that want to, can't access this site!

I'm very grateful for you loyal readers that have stuck with me through the recent glitches. I'd like to let you know that I am exploring alternatives, but I have a few unanswered questions I need to resolve first. Specifically, if I port this site to another non "blogspot" domain name but still use blogger as my client, will it still force the warning page on me? If that is true, then I still have a couple other options.

Please bear with me and please write me with reports of any difficulties you have accessing the site.

Thank you.

Carrie Leigh's NUDE MAGAZINE

Photographer and long time reader Dave Rudin wrote in to tell me about a brand new magazine that has just his the shelves for the first time. The premier issue has an 8 page feature on Dave's work. Way to go Dave!

The magazine looks like it features quality work and interesting articles. I wish it every success, and I hope I can find it in my local shops. If any one wants to buy me an early X-mas present, I'll take a year's subscription!

Even more importantly though, the magazine has an open call for submissions via their website. We all know that print exposure can be hard to come by, so this is an excellent opportunity.

As regular readers know, I don't generally post sites with subscription content, but with no less than 30 galleries, there's more free content on Russian photographer Igor Amelkovich's pay-site, than most regular sites I link to.

ALTphotos Photography Community :: For Creative Photography

Vancouver (via South Africa) photographer Trevor Brady's series "At Home" is a great series featuring people naked where they are most comfortable, in their domestic environment. I also recommend you explore the rest of this photographer's site, there's an incredibly diverse bunch of high quality work here.

Strange juxtapositions, unusual contrast, and multiple textures give Russian photographer Zura Arabidze's work a unique feel.

Thai Phien is perhaps the first Vietnamese photographer I've ever posted here. I guess it's a combination of language barrier and cultural differences, but I don't see a lot of galleries by South Asian photographers. If any one knows of any others, I'd be very interested to see the links.
