shooting yourself for stress relief...

I had a stressful experience of getting a nasty parking ticket last friday, everyone who was consoling me said I should go and have a drink to make me feel better but I had a better idea... I got the camera out and started shooting myself, it didn't take long for all my worries to fade away, I quickly became engrossed it this wonderful process of taking time out to focus on seeing my inner and outer beauty through the eyes of this fantastic little camera that has now become my good friend through hard times, easy times and times of exileration and joy. How special it is that ism gives us the chance to share these moments with each other and ourselves.

Ehhh....Chica,
I have a lot of stress at times too.....
If I do what you and Jamie did I would have zillions of nudes pix, LOL!

But hey, you are both so right. When I am at the nude beach I'm just relaxed and at ease and just feel plain great.

Mmmhhh....I gotta go for it more.....

Love,
Turtleman

BTW, sorry for that ticket you got...

nudity does bring about relaxation
and being a bit of an exhibitionist makes it even more relaxing teehee

Now I am thankful for the ticket, otherwise I wouldn't have had the experience.

Everything can become positive, even the most tragic events, if we are open to the lessons they bring or the experiences that come about because of them. Damn that parking guy though, he wrote out a ticket right in front of me! Wouldn't even look at me in the eyes, lucky for him though cause I had a look for him that would have made him weak at the knees. xx

I wonder how weak his knees would have been if you took your pictures in front of him.

LOL!
