Busted! Can’t videotape nude person

October 10th, 2007

My old collage professor, Mike Sanders of University of Cincinnati, had his work and home computers raided the other day by Cincinnati park rangers because he was making video art of a nude person. I e-mail the editor at the Cincinnati ENQUIRER News Paper and they quoted me in an writeup about the whole shindig.

It was funny how I found out about the story; I had a friend e-mail me telling me that he was going to this nude photo shoot in Miami Beach, and then two minutes after reading the e-mail I went to Cincinnati.com to checkup on my hometown news, saw the article on the homepage and just laughed. The timing could to be better! 500 nude people in a major public place in Miami, and everyone is freaking out about a small video project, hidden in the woods, with one nude person.
