The bodies arrive cold to the mountain, asleep, slow, they do not approach, but they have complicity when it comes to move, they dare to fight and explore from camaraderie to eroticism.

I do know that there is a lot of them in my head when I dare to postpone this moment for eternity with my camera.
Nudity is a tool of honesty, nothing to hide, nothing to lose, it is perfect to meet and play. Naked we easily play as children, and just as easily we become adults during the nudity. Only by dressing up we manage to hide our desires and truths.
