M at Paros 1981 – naked portrait

There is something special in the look of a head-and-shoulders portrait taken when naked – often this can be missed because the viewer naturally wants to take in the whole view. I am therefore making a series of "naked portraits", cropped from original nude photos, which can also be flagged "safe" so they can be seen by a wider range of people. For some of them the full framehas been archived and is no longer on display, but this one is back in public view.

Intro to the original photo, "First Swim" in the Aegean Sea:
M emerged from the water feeling exhilerated and refreshed on our first day in Paros. After a stifling stay in Athens and a difficult ferry trip - it suddenly all seemed worthwhile.

By 1981 our twins were old enough to stay with their grandparents so that (funded by me presenting a paper in Athens) we were able to spend a while exploring some of the Greek islands.

We arrived in Paros about 1am having "jumped ship" on our way to Santorini because the ferry was seriously overloaded and the plumbing had failed so the indoor seating areas were flooded with sewage. The kind "Tourist Police" found us an amazingly luxurious room for 2 nights in a just opened hotel in Aliki on the south of the Island and we were able to catch the last bus there. Despite the hour we were given a friendly welcome and only charged B&B prices. By the time we had breakfast and wandered off along the rocky coast in the brilliant sunshine with the clear blue sea beside us the journey had faded to a vague nightmare.
