Cosima Underwater

No public nekkidness from me this week, I’m afraid. All say “Aaaw” now! ;)

I couldn’t sleep tonight, and took a deep dive into my photo archives. I found these two reflections of me. The first one shows me killing time with my camera, while waiting for the subway. Most subway stations in Hong Kong have glass panes and sliding doors in front of tracks, to prevent people jumping or being pushed onto them.

The second shows me taking a picture of a hat shop in Basel. When I shot it, I didn’t even notice that I was in it.

Today is my first blogoversary… yippee! Come on in and celebrate with me! Raise a glass of bubbly – alcoholic or not – to Cosima Underwater’s first year!

I almost missed it. I was thinking about introducing a few more labels and clicked on the first post one, and there it stood May 4th 2006, the day that I started Cosima Underwater, pretty much on a whim, not actually sure what I should do with it, nor where it would take me.

The second post on the same day was a picture, an HNT picture, and it introduced me to a wonderful community of people. That I met you all, while we were being half-nekkid, made it all the more enjoyable :).

So, on my first blogoversary I would like to thank Os for starting it all. Os, you are my Da Count for today. Without you, I would still be traveling alone in cyberspace… completely clothed. And how boring would that be?

Cheers and kisses,

Cosima

As promised my new hand painted Batik Sarong… much too pretty to tie it up.

Thank you all so much for your wonderful emails! That you took the time to write them means so much to me. I am in bed with the flu this morning, fever, joint pain, and a murderous headache. My son caught it yesterday and now the whole family is down and out. To open my email box this morning and finding all these wonderful messages was the best medicine.

My comment function continues to be on strike. I think it might be a server problem here in Asia. Yesterday, some of your blogs wouldn’t load for me as well. I sure hope this will be over soon.

I wish you all a great weekend!

sexiness n. – the arousal of feeling of desire

That’s what sexiness is for me too. It is about suggesting and making the other want more, not about giving all at once. I always thought that it is harder to make a sexy picture completely naked than with some clothing on. A shot of just the face with suggestive eyes can be sexier than a pair of bare breasts.

I have never posted a shot of my breasts for HNT. Not because I am prudish about it, I just didn’t like the shots I took. Yesterday I was playing around with light and shadow. I used a single lamp during shooting, and deepened the shadows with photoshop. And I finally got nude pictures of me that I liked. There is a whole series, but this one is my favorite.
