"MOON AND MOON"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TAD does BOTH kinds of MOON photography:

HAPPY 42nd ANNIVERSARY
to the first moon landing party!
I shot the above photo of the moon from my balcony
in the wee hours of this morning.

Speaking of moon landings,
today (July 20) is the anniversary of the first moon landing
AND the anniversary of my registration of my NudeCreations.com domain name.
Yes, I photograph BOTH kinds of moons. ;-) ♥

And if you're wondering, the image above "is" a self-portrait.

Besides nude self-portraiture, lunar photography is my other passion.




The subjects in my "FLYING BY MOONLIGHT" photograph were going to be the moon and the tiny Canadian flag in the window on the far right. The birds were a gift of God.

Thanks to Mom for the "FLYING BY MOONLIGHT" title suggestion :-)

"SELF-PORTRAIT ON MY 42ND BIRTHDAY"
by JTK.CA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Birthday Photo: DECEMBER 31, 2009

I think there's a difference between fantasy and lust. Lust is just fantasy in overdrive and out of control. Sexual attraction was designed by God. Having a sexual imagination is not sin. Letting it consume you is. You cannot control what other people think of you, and you will never please everyone. I'm a Nudist Christian. I'm sure some Christians have a problem with my nudity. And I know some nudists have a problem with my boner. But I don't hide erections in my art or my life, because they are part of God's creation. Also it's partly my response to the nudist hypocrisy that preaches body acceptance, but at the same time says, hide that hideous thing with your towel. No wonder Viagra is making a killing. Body hatred has killed all of our boners. -- Tad ( NudeCreations.com ) NudistPoet (a.k.a. JTK.CA)

"My Nude Self-Portrait Photo With My Watercolour" PLUS my poem "IT IS FINISHED" ::: © JTK.CA



"Solitude (Self-Portrait)" nude photo: 1994

I did this and a series of other photos of myself naked for photography class in university. I remember my professor asking the class if they saw any religious significance in my image. Then, he pointed out the CROSS formed by the intersection of one railing and the vertical bar of another railing. I thought that was cool that he pointed that out, because I'm not even sure I saw it before that :-)

"IT IS FINISHED" :::: © JTK.CA
(Based on John 19:30)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From the cross, Christ proclaimed,
"It is finished."
No more words needed,
No Pope's decree,
No finely crafted sermon or poem,
No pious efforts on our part.

By the Word's own words,
"It is finished."

He paid the price.
We still fail, yes, often, we still fail.
But He never did, and that is our hope.

He never failed.
That's why He is our hope.

"It is finished," by the Word's own words.

Below is another of my photos that goes with this CROSS-centric post. :-) <3

JTK.CA stands for JONATHAN TAD KETCHEN Creative Adventurer (my identity), but even more important than me, I'm happy to let JTK.CA stand for JESUS THE KING Conquers All. He is my Creator, and I am only a Creative Adventurer because He is the one who made me.



This is my night-time long exposure, taken of residential lighting on the horizon, moving the camera side to side, moving it up and down, plus a little bit of random spinning. Then I turned the finished photo 90 degrees. Usually, you see this kind of time exposure with car lights. However, this one is mostly house lights and, maybe some street lights, on the horizon. Just call me a whirling dervish! ;-) Twist and shout! When I saw the image on my digital camera's view screen, the cross jumped right out at me, and I couldn't wait to get home to Photoshop the image! Weeee!
