#3 Theda in New Jersey
Since I started shooting nudes in windows before I was having the subjects tell their stories.
Not every subject has a story that they wished to submit in the first few shoots.
But here is the story of how this shoot went down as told by me your host.
Theda is a very well known very accomplished art nude model in NY,
I had traveled to NY to visit and wanted to shoot her in a window in the huge studio where I was staying at.Shooting in these old windows with rotting sills and rusted iron bars proved to be a bit of a challenge.
In the last image I pointed to the window and asked to climb on up…
She looked at me & with caustic wit let me know that art models do not just fly into window sills…
I was not about to be upstaged so I climbed into the window myself with no aid…
I then hopped down and found a ladder for her to use to ascend into her window.

Care to exchange links?
After reading the post of Michael Barnes, I'm sure your project will be quite nice to follow.
So I promote it here :

Tell me when you'll need some help.
And bravo !

Ah, I see the blog links here that you mentioned... Congrats. I really like image #3 of window 3... But it sounds like she deserved to have the ladder taken away after she was up there. Oh well, not all models are as daring as one of the California models I know ;-)
The more I think about it, though... I like the ladder in the shot (but didn't notice it until I read the accompanying text).
Yeah Miichael! I wish I could have sent you this one. :-)
hey... it had nothing to do with daring. it had to do with willowy spagetti arms and insufficient upper body strength. she should have taken the ladder away. gravity was working with me for getting down anyway.
Wow. I didn't notice the ladder either. Guess I was distracted.
Great project. Good luck with it.
This is one of the best (but I'd like to see you do one with CatrionaS if she could be persuaded).
Theda seems to be more used to ladders than she would admit (see her portfolio). And, no, Theda, it's not in any way obscene (http://www.theda-b.com/theda/kernblue.jpg), just delicious.
