[Leica] Nudes? Really? Correct me but I believe we were all born that way

Evenmore horrors. I am Past President of the largest gun club in SW Wash (social liberal fiscal conservative) does add a whole new dimension do what do ya shoot…

We have LGBT sub club and events. I asked the founder why he selected the name Pin Pistols…”Mark, all guys were born with a pink pistol” okay

The human body is a work of art. Celebrate and capture it and if you and the subject wish share it
