(Early 2010s) Nudity
They are waiting in the corner of the mall to get dressed.
When I was a child, I felt uncomfortable with the bronze and stone statues of nude bodies I saw on the street. why aren't they wearing clothes? and why are they there? Even now, decades later, as an adult, I still feel that sense of incongruity.
Today is the last year in NYC for the annual body painting festival. A parade of 25 naked painted bodies surrounded by 50 photographers just passed by on their way to Washington Sqare Park.
