Below are the top 10 March Madness words and their meanings to nudists:
1) NCAA - No Clothes Allowed Anytime
2) March Madness - A nudist's state of mind after having been bundled up all winter long. Some northern nudists have even been known to have March Madness set in so bad, they run outside naked and make snow angels.
3) Free throw - Throwing your friend into the pool without them knowing it.
4) Point spread - The distance you have to walk from your nudist resort hotel room to the pool.

|  To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address, documentarian Ken Burns, along with numerous partners, launched a national effort to encourage everyone in America to video record themselves reading or reciting the speech. The collection of recordings housed on this site will continue to grow as more and more people are inspired by the power of history and take the challenge to LEARN THE ADDRESS. President Barack Obama, Former President George W. Bush, and political comedian Stephen Colbert are all featured on the Learn The Address website reciting the speech. Also included, AANR-Northwest members at Sun Meadow Resort, whose video was chosen for the site. Click here to view |
Photographer Working on Tribal ID
|  Local Oregon City photographer Scott McSorley has announced plans for three nude photo shoots this summer. The photos will be featured in his second book, "Tribal ID." His body of work spans 13+ years, and has been featured in Nude & Natural and Clothed with the Sun. Scott's pictures consist mostly of large scale photos depicting the naked body covered in mud, in a natural environment. Shots are taken on black and white film on a Rolleiflex medium format camera, in a fine art context. "The bodies are formed either to create one shape or to emulate the surrounding environment," Scott explains, "and to be covered in mud is to revert to our primitive selves." Soil as skin cover has been used by indigenous tribes as ornamentation, camouflage and temperature control. Scott is looking for models of all shapes, sizes, colors and environments of equal diversity to contribute to the ubiquitous nature of his work. Scott will be conducting photo shoots this summer at the following locations: Milo McIver State Park, Rooster Rock State Park and Mt. Hood National Forest. Local AANR-NW beach group, Rooster-Sauvie Volunteers, will be participating and assisting McSorley at the Rooster Rock nude beach shoot. You can show your support for nude art by participating in the shoot, making a donation, or simply sharing this story with others. Scott's crowd funding for the project will run from March 11-April 21, 2014. You can read more about this project and the funding project at www.indiegogo.com. |
