My Naked, Photographer, Husband From New England

 

Jon taking a picture of the sunshine  this morning.

“The sun is out” I yelled to Jon, who was getting ready to take a shower.  “The mud is glistening, the slate is shiny with rain.”  “It looks just like it did when you took that picture Morning Path.”

I knew Jon couldn’t resist the sun.  I was at the gate feeding Fanny and Lulu yesterdays bread when I saw him come out of the house, naked, taking pictures with his iPhone.

Then I couldn’t resist.

I quickly figured out how to take a picture of my naked, photographer, husband so I could post it on my blog.

It’s become a thing, Jon running out naked, trying to  capture the sunlight in a photo while it lasts.

Today happens to be warm, but he’ll do it in a snow storm if the light is right.  As much fun as we have joking about it, it’s really quite noble, I think,  and the sign of a true artist, not letting anything get in the way of his work.

The Tin Man is shielding Jon, physically and grabbing the focus, leaving Jon a fuzzy blur.  I kept thinking of the nude scenes in the Austin Powers movies.

I asked Jon  if he minded if I posted the photo on my blog and then he wanted a copy of it to post it on his blog too.  I was in my studio and emailed him the picture.

A few minutes later my phone rang,  I could hear Jon blush over the phone.  “You can post it”, he said suddenly shy, “but I can’t”.   I told him  it was no different than if he were wearing a bathing suit.   “I just can’t,” he repeated,  “after all,  I’m from New England.”

  1. Maria, you made me laugh out loud with your reference to the nude scenes in Austin Powers movies. I hadn’t picked up on the tact and grace of the Tin Man in the photo until you mentioned the movies. Phew. Thank goodness Ed Gulley made such a large Tin Man. 🙂 Thanks for the laughs.
