The Red Chair Project
This is by Michael Barone. He’s doing this super awesome photo project called the Red Chair Project. He’s working to get 100 different people to pose, all with the same red chair, all nude. It goes to show that once all the outside elements (race, gender, socio-economic class, jobs, clothes, etc) get taken away, we are all people. I LOVE the idea of this project…I love social commentary photography in general (I totally just typed GENDERal…hehehe).
Anyways, I was number 44 (a magic number, btw), so he’s still looking for more than 50 people to pose. You must be over 18 (duh), and able to get to Perkasie, PA. Otherwise, nothing else matters…you can be from any background, full of any identities, etc. If you’re interested in participating, email him at info@baronephotography.com. He’s super nice, very respectful, and interesting to talk to (you don’t have to have any modeling experience – you just chat with him while he takes photos). I totally vouch for him.
If you pose, you get a copy of the picture he chooses for his exhibit (all in black and white, except the chair is hand done in red), and he sends you an 8 X 10 print of the photo as well. The shoot takes about 20 minutes, although I wound up chatting with him a lot more about sexuality in general.
So yeah, that’s me. Stripped of everything (except my glasses). And I’m a person, just like everyone else. Also, something cool to point out, my hair matched the color of the chair…PERFECTLY. I love my life.
Happy Half Nakkid Thursday!

What a cool project, and to be part of it must be an honor.
Happy HNT!
PS. You look Very Sexy!
You are so beautiful. What a wonderful project. I’d do it in a heartbeat if I was in the area.
HHNT!
Lovely photograph, and an intriguing project indeed.
Obligatory crude Internet statement: yeah, I’d hit it. ;-)
Ooohh a pretty photo!
And it sounds like a fun project too.
I wonder if I can make it out to Perkasie (this requires a map. I have relatives in P.A…and a sister who might be nice enough to do the ‘driving’ thing.) and try to be a part of it.
I LOVE the handcoloring… so very classy. You’re stunning, you know. Wow.
gorgeous. (you, the picture, the project, all of it)
