Those pics were taken at the NUDE!!! We did have a huge Monday party at the prude tho!

In hind site those pics probably should have not been taken as we know the rules. I know the person that took them (I am in all the pics....can you find me) and they were not taken in a creepy way but just to document the insanity that was going on that day. It was not like there were cameras out everywhere unless you count the women in the second story window video taping us. I blurred the pics in an effort to protect everyone's identity and posted these to hopefully put a little smile on everyone's face...not to upset anyone.
Normal sucks doesn't Paul...welcome to my world the last three weeks! We did a party in the prude pool also...lucky nobody drowned. Who puts a 9' deep pool right next to a bar with unlimited refills....lol.
Looks like we are going to finally meet in 2013...that is going to be one crazy week.
Does not upset me as we (contrary to my typo) were not there. Just pointing out that obviously the "you can trust me with my camera" concept is not one you can rely on as there are people who feel the rules don't apply to them. As for the women with the video running, there is another issue that should be dealt with by management. Just sayin.
i'm ecstatic that you posted these! WOW! so excited for our first trip now...like i wasn't before. HA.
I've got mixed feelings on this. On one hand I'm happy to see so many having a great time. On the other hand, I know I would NOT want to be in the photograph without my explicit consent (which I suspect most were unaware of). When we go we'll of course have our camera with us, but only for situations which are either private or a few people who desire to be part of the scene. Would never even consider taking photos of a large group like this - just seems to be asking for trouble. I fully understand the desire on the part of the photographer to catch the moment, however probably not the best decision, IMHO.
I think we'll opt as a few others have indicated to go during a less crowded time, in part so that we have a bit of a better handle on where and when we might be in a scene.... :cool:
I can only imagine the person taking those pics said "hey everybody, act natural while I snap a couple"! lol!
I don't mean to be a "kill joy" here, but these pictures really upset me. Hindsight is fine, but hindsight also means it's too late. These pictures never should have been taken and they never should have been posted on the board (or anywhere else for that matter). It was a gross violation of people's privacy and one that could have very serious implications for some in the pictures. There are very good reasons why photography is not allowed on the nude side. The blurring helps a little, but people are still recognizable. I recognized a couple of people that we have spent time with at Hedo on previous trips.
You've got better vision than I do then. I was there, know 95% of the people in the picture, and still have a hard time recognizing folks. I still haven't found FaceDown in the pictures. Heck, I had to think about what color of hat and what color of lei I had around my neck to pick myself out, and still can't figure out who I'm talking to. LOL
I am in the pics.. I think.. so whacked out I THINK that I found me.. I knew that the camera was there and pics were being taken to document our FUN. No problem with them posted this way. On any other day when the "normal" fun was going on no photos would have been worth the effort. My cameras were locked in the safe by this time for hours. AFTER an early morning shoot that had security at my elbow making sure no one other then the model was in the photos. The guard was taking the photos of a single guy later in the day out there. *G*
Now, for those not there. The middle pool was lightly attended, the hot tub had very few ppl in or around it so there was lots of water to be in with out being in the pool with us Amigos.
The day we took over the prude pool with naked bodies LOTS of photos were being taken by a lot of ppl who are not Amigos.
I am sure my naked body is out there on the net and for sure in a lot of hard drives. Oh well. Chances are anyone will care about me? none .. Do I care about a few friends who it would affect? YEP. Those pics are sent to Them Only and then off my hard drive and SD cards.
I was there the whole week with my beloved Amigos and I NEVER felt violated with my pic being taken IMO! Cameras were out at the main dining room, out by the prude pool, disco and many other places. We are all very respectful when we take our photos but there has been many occasions that a person walks by when cameras are flashing.
I kjnow that some some ppl dont want their pics out on the web and there are alot of weirdos that think that they can take a snap shot when ever they want..... but GIVE ME A BREAK>>>> Facedown is a VERY HIGHLY respected person in the HEDO community( ya it was our first at 2 but been to 3 many times). He would be the LAST person that would violate any ones privacy. He blurred the pics that he posted here. I have seen those and I can't see us (and yes we were right there) or barely identify any one of the 147 FUCKING FREAKING IDIOTS that are the Amigos.
If there was only 50 or so ppl in the pool and someone was taking pics then yes I would be upset but on that day there were atleast 150+ in or around the pool that day.
That is my 2 cents and I will defend Facedown for showing the rest of the Hedo community how the Amigos Roll!!!!
We love our FUCKING IDIOTS!!!!!
