Vintage Nudity

Ahh... the old round-cornered snapshots from the 1970s. A clear indication that this was not a Polaroid, but a commercially-developed photo.

This is not anyone I know, but it reminds me of the good old days. One time at college, I found a nude photo of someone's girlfriend (a Polaroid) in their dorm room, and it gave me an idea: "The next time I go home, I'm going to take some nude photos of my girlfriend." Not to share them with anyone (at least not back then, I would never have considered that. Now? Well that's a different story.) 

Not having a Polaroid camera, I simply used my Kodak 110, and took the film to a Fotomat. Of course, I took them to a distant location, and used an assumed name to maintain some privacy, but there was no guarantee (or expectation, really) that anyone developing the film wouldn't keep an extra set for themselves, or that a bored Fotomat employee would browse and/or cherry-pick the photos. 

Anyway, when I saw this photo it reminded me of those days.

Silky Smooth

What a pretty sight! 

Even with her legs spread, all you see is a slot, as if to say "Swipe your access card, please".
