i've been eyeing that photography book for a year now....

i'm not much into portraits (i'm more into landscapes) but i love nude photography and yes black and whites always, always amaze me....... i remember joining a nude photography session back in the philippines...... no, i wasn't the model, silly...... i was one of the photographers...... i still have the photos if you want to see them......
