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.
