I asked a friend of mine to help me make some photos for possible use as figure drawing reference. He agreed and we found and went to a suitable location when we thought the sun was optimal for this. After an hour or two of taking photos, we started trying more and more adventurous things. We starting thinking that we needed to try some poses up against a wall, and, looking around, we noticed, to our surprise, there was a wall fairly close to us - a rock wall. So, we walked to the wall and took a few shots. Jokingly, my friend suggested that I go ahead and climb the wall and he would take more photos. I examined the wall, and could see lots of relatively easy places for my hands and feet and figured that it was pretty doable, and reasonably safe, and decided to go for it. I climbed, and my friend clicked away with the camera. I was very pleased with the resulting photos. This photo also inspired a drawing by a New Jersey-based artist named Brian Barnabas Bednarek (Brine for short).
