More pictures posted on my blog. Thanks to those who have contributed so far.
I must say I'm surprised that people who took the trouble to say they would send photos, have failed to do so and not even emailed to say they had changed their minds.
Perhaps people are wary of uploading naturist photos of themselves onto a blog website? How secure is your site? Is right click download image disabled?
last point first, all you get from right clicking is the same pictures in a different format.
first point, The blog is not the easiest to find, go to Blogger and without the address I have published, search for my blog. it is almost impossible to find. Even from google it is not easy.
Now some general notes.
I said once before that most naturists behave like naughty children, hiding behind walls and in clubs. I'm not suggesting open exhibitionism but being ashamed of your choices might mean it is not the right choice for you.
If you are worried about being seen on the net, you certainly should not go to a naturist beach where phone cams proliferate
anyone and everyone there is a potential target, but ask yourself a question. Why would anyone want to take a photo of you? are you incredibly attractive or exceptionally ugly? ordinary run of the mill naturists are of no interest to most voyeurs.
Some years ago I took a picture of Maja on a naturist site, and was castigated for it. The elderly couple had reported me, they wanted to be sure I wasn't taking pictures of them. It never occurred to them that the young attractive couple in the next tent were more likely targets - I didn't take pictures of either couple.
One of the most often heard comments about naturism by textiles, is "I wouldn't want everyone looking at me naked." when in fact most naturists know, it doesn't work like that. Most naturist might glance at someone coming in but then will return to what they were doing. I often wonder if the real reason and one textiles do not want to admit is "I dont want everyone ignoring me when I'm naked." They are scared to find that no-one is interested in them.
One final point on photos, what does it matter if a stranger copies your picture. What are they going to do with it that they couldn't do on screen. If someone who recognises you were to copy your picture, what will they do? they might try to ridicule you, just ask what they were doing looking at that site if they are so much against it. Personally if someone says they saw our pictures I ask if they enjoyed them, and point out how lucky I have been to have a wife so beautiful that they enjoy looking at her naked photos. It has an interesting effect if you say that in earshot of their wife.
Three textile men that I know of have seen some of my pictures, none of them were on the internet. One told his wife and they shared their pictures, but never became naturist. The second was a photographer friend and his wife. They saw a residual picture from his scanner which I had borrowed (scanners retain the last picture, even when turned off and unplugged, we didn't know till then) The third told his wife and they became naturists.
people seeing you naked is never as bad as you might think it is.
This is a great idea and the photo's are really good - i think its great that someone has thought of this and provided the opportunity for others to share with.

Please feel free to share your pictures, if you would like to. You can send them to canoesailor@btinternet.com and I will include them.
Hi John - thank you - up until now i have never bothered to have photos taken but we are going to Croatia to a naturist site this summer so maybe i will have chance to get some taken. We belong to a club so its not the done thing to take photos in that environment. By the way i think the photos on your blog are very photogenic and natural.
Hi SOF
If you have the confidence to share some on the blog, you would be most welcome. Have a good holiday.
Thank you John - i am looking forward to it. The location may well prove to be a good incentive to try a few photos for the first time.
Superb idea, love the retro theme

Thanks, not deliberately retro, just what's available.
I just wish more people would take part. Several promised but only three men and one woman have so far sent contributions (and her's were a couple of rear shots, albeit very nice pictures.)
Naked Archer raised a valid point about forums etc. but I have now been able to study the stats from the naturistandnude forum.
Nearly 90 percent of all visits came through this site, Naturist Corner. I cannot identify individuals but from talking to two naturist friends, they have both been looking at it and entering through Google. That leaves just two visits out of nearly 3000, from unknown people, one in NewZealand and one in France.
Although I realise it only takes one rogue person to cause trouble I think those stats are pretty good from a security POV.
If you would like to contribute but are nervous, think about two things. First why would anyone want to spread your pictures around and Second, without using the web address of the forum, and searching as if you are just looking for nudes. try to find the forum on google.
I do this regularly and it is almost impossible, but if you do find it using the method described, please let me know and I'll try to close that route.
That leaves just two visits out of nearly 3000, from unknown people, one in NewZealand and one in France.
My wife and I are probably the visitors from France, as we live in Lyon , and have visited the blog several times - the last time actually being earlier this afternoon!
I enjoy the dated aspect of some photos, which reminds me of some of our own holiday photos (we started naturism over 35 years ago).

another visitor located, thanks for looking. if you should feel like contributing please let me know.
I would put more up to date pics on but the last time we managed to get away was five years ago - various health problems and I'm using an electric scoot to get about now, I can only walk a few yards.
I have just had a something pointed out to me about the blog.
On each post I enter tags /labels to make it easier to search for.
I never looked at them on the blog itself until my naturist friend Roy (who appears in some of the photos) emailed me to say it was wrong to label John as Gay and to refer to the cycling picture as the WNBR when it obviously wasn't. I looked at the Blog and at first couldn't see it, then I noticed the pictures he was talking about.
By pure chance the picture immediately above the tag "Gay" was of one of the Johns and the picture of him riding was above the "WNBR" tag.
I have now hidden all tags, so it shouldn't happen again. Apologies to contributors if you were embarrassed by them.
The photos posted are wonderful, i love the fact that they sum up the era in which they were taken and very natural poses. I often look back at my old photos and although the modern digital results are fantastic the older photos seem to have more atmosphere. You should both be proud of them they are great

Thanks SOF, I know what you mean by atmosphere, but I wish we had digital earlier, we'd all have more photos - no cost and no problem with processing.
I'm going to run out of pics soon, my scanner stopped working. So I could do with more contributions.
I agree totally and as a result I normally take 100's of photos when away but yet to take any nude ones. I need a model to practice on. I will see if I can persuade my wife to take some of me this and submit a couple
