Let me know which you like best??
This is a photo of the "dome" or HQ whichever you like. That is where volunteers met before the big ride.
This is a shot of HQ lit up in the night after the riders left on their mission.
8000 people left the area and this was all that remained. It was eeerie to re-enter the space. I can't explain it.
Everyone who cared, had left to spread the word and this was the tiny imprint they left behind, aglow in the night.
Crepes a la Carte dares to bare?At the Naked Bike Ride would you have wanted crepes served to you by a naked person? Does that even meet food service codes? I just thought this funny shot of them hiding their family jewels was really funny! Would you agree? If you want to book me for your next event: e-mail me to see if I am free. Jodi@jodieve.com.

What it means to be a Social Media Photographer
When I first started as a wedding photographer my goal was to capture joy and I did.
As of late, I have realized that my calling is as a photographer in a category that I recently coined to be able to explain what I do. I coined the term Social Media Photographer because the work has called me to action. As technology bursts at the seems on a daily basis, I came to understand that photographs no longer live in albums. They live on our phones, on our computers and on Facebook. So, to extract the images from the technology requires some old school thinking.
That is why I have changed my whole approach to capturing joy.
The joy is in our shared experience. My non profit clients can rely on me to create images that send their message, reach their target markets and build their brands. The families that hire me rely on me to capture their very essence. I chose this next photograph to share as it represents the comfort that my subject felt in sitting peacefully naked before the WNBR (World Naked Bike Ride in Portland Oregon). He was aware of how his image would be used to fight to reduce the use of fossil fuels and to show just how vulnerable those who choose biking can be.
If we are using nudity to create social change: What does the future hold when nudity is widely accepted? I am so curious.....There have been over 2700 hits on my blog since the Naked Bike Ride in Portland Oregon. Who are my readers and how did you find my blog?
Is there one person out there who visits on a daily basis a thousand times a day?
Please enter your e-mail address in the box above or write to me at Jodi@jodieve.com so that I can learn more about this amazing influx of interest and attention. I am just so curious?

Wanna Journal About The Naked Bike Ride?
My good pal & painter Janiece Aufranc took this sweet photo of a new bike journal now being sold at Ecru Modern Stationers @ 1215 NW 11th Avenue Portland, OR 97209(503) 227-2611
This magical store carries and designs the most amazing paper goods in Portland.
I buy every card I need from LeAnn Dolan, the store's proprietor.
She and Janiece create "show stopping" party invitations and much much more. Currently there a few snarky cards that have made my day on more than one occasion! You have to stop by and meet them and understand why I visit as often as I can. You can even get custom stationary and call in your re-order! Now that is customer service! Being a non-profit social media photographer has opened a lot of doors lately. I look forward to offering my services to cover events for worthwile causes and the media outlets they want to reach via social media.
Being a self proclaimed"Social Media Photographer" is a profession that I may have just invented? Look for my work this summer at the Bite of Oregon. I will be shooting food created by the best chef's in Oregon to benefit the Special Olympics.
Slutwalk is Coming to Portland
World Naked Bike Ride Participants signing waivers...These brave women were two in 8000 reported bikers who "bared as they dared" to help get out the word about saving fossil fuel! If it takes a little T&A to wake up the world, I am all for it.
July 31th Slutwalk will be held in Portland,Oregon. The group has been organizing walks to fight against police brutality in Canada against women. I do hope that they have a big turn out here in Portland.
To read more about it Google Slutwalk! It will prove to be yet another Portland coup for keeping Portland the progressive town we all cherish. Photos to come.
If it takes Naked Bike Ride and Slutwalks to get people stop texting and start paying attention to what people have to say...then success is a matter of mobilizing ala Portland.
The SlutWalk protest marches began on April 3, 2011 in Toronto, Canada and have since become an international movement of rallies across the world.[1] They are a protest against the belief that any aspect of a woman's appearance might explain or excuse rape.[2] The rallies began in response to remarks made by Constable Michael Sanguinetti, a Toronto Police officer, who suggested that in order not to be victimized, "women should avoid dressing like sluts."[3][4] The protest take the form of a march, by mainly young women, where some dress in ordinary clothing, and others dress provocatively; there are also speaker meetings and workshops.[5] Such protests have not been universally accepted as appropriate; for example some objectors have remarked that this approach is an example of women defining their sexuality in male terms.

Hey, Portland let's give them something to talk about. Put a bird on it!

From the Heathman to the Streets: Naked Bike Ride
This weekend was quite remarkable. In one night I went from photographing an event at the Heathman Hotel in the infamous Tea Room to the streets of Portland for the Naked Bike Ride. At the Heathman Hotel, the room was exquisite, the company divine and the ambiance sublime. The flowers, the piano, the chandelier and the challenge. I photographed a group of 26 people in 15 minutes. A new record for arranging and staging a large family portrait.One happy hour later, I am setting up to photograph the world's largest Naked Bike Ride as the only credentialed photographer allowed inside the gates while riders stripped to "bare as they dare" and ride through the streets of Portland en force.
My experience was unlike any other I have ever had. The energy in the space was extremely positive. The fenced energy was so positive that when I left the area to store something in my car, the vibrational level dropped out of range.
The comparison was so remarkable that I had to ask myself: how would this energy flow through the streets change the energy flow in Portland?
So, as the huge mass of bikers began to flow into the streets I felt it. I actu
ally felt change happen before my eyes. I can describe it, other than to say that anyone who witnessed this event will tell you that it was beyond remarkable. The humor, the kindness, the trust and and soul of this ride was co-created in real time. A special thank you to all who allowed me to gracefully move within this space to document their experience for the world. I am so grateful to you for your trust and willingness to allow me to join you in co-creating joy and change.

Naked Bike Ride Photographer Jodieve Was Honored
I was honored to be the ONLY trusted citizen in Portland to enter the gates of the Naked Bike Ride on June 18, 2011 to photograph participants getting ready for the ride. Being named the Naked Bike Ride's only official Media photographer was such a huge honor. Of all the events I have photographed, I am most proud of the work I did for this one.
I offered people the opportunity to have their portraits taken with their own cameras or mine.
People were so completely open and comfortable with themselves.
I will be ever in debt to Jane Roberts@ JaneRobertsArt.com. She was my trusty assistant and did a great job in helping people understand the consent forms and helped folks understand their rights.
The most hysterical part of the ride was when riders cheered as we revealed ourselves as supporters! Organizers do not know what they will do with the photos I took, and that is OK.
Not every photo needs to be shared. Some can be for the pure enjoyment of posing in the moment and seeing how it turns out. Please "Freind" Jodieve.com on Facebook to see what's happening next.
