Mark Blinch, a photographer with the Reuters News Agency, contacted us in June about a project he was doing on “what it means to get back to nature,  movements on how people find alternatives to cope with big city living, and what it means to our health when we are absent from nature.”  He wanted to know if he could explore the naturist movement in that context.  We agreed and he spent a few days at Bare Oaks both as a participant and as a reporter.  The fact that he took his time and tried it himself really shows in the resulting video:

These photos also become part of the worldwide Reuters photos library which means that when the media does a story about naturism, they may be using pictures of Bare Oaks with their article.
