Holden: Adding links to galleries of photos I shot while riding in this parade and getting painted

{{Ride location sub-page breadcrumb (Seattle)}}

Includes film, video and photography coverage by third parties and participants. Coverage is sorted by the date of the event.

:''See also the global [[Film and video]] and [[Photography]] pages. ''

== Policy ==

:''Compare with the global [[Photography policy]] for guidelines about people videotaping and photographing WNBR events.''

The Seattle WNBR event has adopted a photography policy which

*Prohibits photography taking place closer than 15 feet from subjects.
**Prohibits taking pictures with cell phones or cameras in an aggressive manner and with the intent of getting extreme closeups of personal areas, especially without permission. This makes many people very uncomfortable.
*Prohibits photography inside body painting tent areas without permission from those getting painted.

This policy is intended to curtail any inconsiderate photography which might otherwise take place. We wish to create a safe and supportive environment for all riders. All photographers present at the ride must abide by this policy. Those who do not will be asked to leave. This INCLUDES any riders or press who take photos.

To ensure that this policy is clear to all present, it will appear on leaflets distributed at the event. If you are attending the ride as a photographer, we would like to remind you that there are various points along the route which feature particularly striking backgrounds for photos of the ride.

Photographers are encouraged to give out contact info on small cards to those who ask.

Riders and supporters are actively encouraged to enforce these policies.

Please report any problems with photographers to ride organizers.

If it makes you uncomfortable, let the photographers know that they don't have permission to photograph you. Keep in mind however that this is a public event and you are in a public park. That does not give people the right to be disrespectful or to harass you with their photography. Also, let other riders know this so they can tell photographers not to photograph you. Another approach is to keep your clothes on during the first bit of the ride, and take them off after you have left the assembly point. We recommend this approach too. Both of these approaches will cut down on photographs taken at the start of the ride, but it's not really possible to stop people from photographing during the ride.

WNBR local events often do have a documentary team taking pictures and video, but they are generally very considerate people and will try to keep your best wishes in mind as much as possible. You can see many of their images on this website and on WNBR-generated media, which is sometimes shared with other non-profit progressive groups.

There are also those who are at the event to use the images for other reasons, and you won't know without asking. If someone is being aggressive, acting suspiciously, or making you feel uncomfortable please tell a WNBR team coordinator or someone who can confront them and tell them to back off a bit and give people personal space. People need to understand the positive message of WNBR and understand that part of respecting each others' bodies is giving each other enough personal space to be comfortable. This is especially important for those that have never been naked in front of strangers or in public before. They have their own issues they are dealing with and aggressive gawking or unwanted exposure adds an additional unwanted complication to their experience. So speak up!

== Video and photography ==

:''See also [[Seattle coverage]] page to view pictures from bloggers, press, media and others.''
:''See/add commentary on these images at the ride report pages''

We need to figure out a good way to distribute these photos and videos to participants. Ideas?

Flickr notes: You need to do two things for the Flickr photos...

*1. Have a (free) Flickr account
*2. Set your "Safety Filter" to allow Moderate (nude) content. To do this, go into Your Account, click on Privacy and Permissions, scroll down to "Content Filters," and turn "Safe Search" off. Then you should be able to see the images there.

:''For some reason, people dismounted their bikes way too early and we ended up walking much further than was necessary to comply with safety requests from the city. We were supposed to go single file first, then dismount. Oh well. You have to have some chaos and unpredictability in every ride and we had enough to keep it fun. I bet the older people were wondering why we were walking our bikes all around them, or perhaps they had other questions they were thinking about.'' [[User:D|D]] 22:22, 11 Jun 2006 (PDT)

That's why we had to get this shot. One of JC's shots [http://www.pbase.com/jcornice/image/61671967] shows one of the kids with his hands over his ears and one of the boys just can't seem to stop from turning around to look at us.

:''This is one of the most bizarre reactions I have ever seen in the ten naked public/urban rides I have done. Its hilarious, but you have to feel sorry for the kids being told to turn around. One can only imagine what life at home is like for them. One of the mothers just can't seem to keep a straight face. Priceless. They almost look like they were praying for us. Well, the prayers were answered. The sun finally did come out for us and we had an amazing, very positive ride!'' [[User:D|D]] 22:13, 11 Jun 2006 (PDT)
:Quinton, a WNBR rider, noted this interesting juxtapozition with the other: "...while next to her was another woman with children saying 'look! look!'"

==== Video ====

Those of you who missed the Seattle WNBR meeting on 23 April 2006 with Conrad Schmidt can now see the footage we shot in [[wikipedia:Washington%20Park%20Arboretum|Washington State Park Arboretum]], on a very busy warm day. There were tons of people in the park that day using this trail. A lot of people got a kick out of the streaking, which went on for about an hour or so, on and off (we certainly looking highly conspicuous as we waited for people to walk by). One lady asked if she could join in.

To help encourage all 5 billion people on the planet to participate in this celebration of two-wheeled naked splendor we have made a small video promo:

*Low-res video: [http://worldnakedbikeride.org/movie/promo1.mov QuickTime] / [http://worldnakedbikeride.org/movie/promo1.wmv Windows Media]
*High-res video: [http://worldnakedbikeride.org/movie/promo2.mov QuickTime] / [http://worldnakedbikeride.org/movie/promo2.wmv Windows Media]

This footage was later incorporated into the film [http://worldnakedbikeride.org/movie/movie.htm Indecent Exposure to Cars: The story of the World Naked Bike Ride], produced by Conrad Schmidt in 2006/2007.

The message of WNBR focuses on promoting cycling. Find out more about the WNBR global message see the [[about|global WNBR message section]]

===Local goals===
"Reclaim our streets, our bodies, our parks, our city, our self-reliance!"

Beyond the above goals, the WNBR Seattle event focuses on the following:

#'''Community building'''. Have fun and express our creativity while engaging and enjoying various communities in Seattle. Celebrate both the diversity and the oneness of the human experience.
#'''Protest oil dependency and advocate renewable energy sources'''; the joy of cycling; sustainable, car-free transportation solutions; and walkable communities. Bicycles are BEST - Better Ecologically Sustainable Transport.
#'''Bring attention to the local safety concerns of cyclists.''' Help people begin to see cyclists [http://rideofsilence.org] and share the road. Sharing the road does not mean cars get the lane and bikes get the gutter or car door lane! (See also [http://www.ghostcycle.org/ ghostcycle.org])
#'''Rejoice in the power and individuality of our bodies.''' Promote body-positive ideals and activities. Advocate the development of [http://seattlebeaches.org/ free beaches in Seattle] and encourage more family-friendly, clothing-optional use of community spaces.
#'''Show solidarity with other naked cycling events around the world.''' Many WNBR events will be riding on the same date.
#'''Generate interest in similar progressive and artistic regional events''' such as those organized by [http://cityrepair.org The City Repair Project] - Village Building Convergence, [http://www.thinksmall.org/ Car Free Seattle], [http://www.hempfest.org/ Seattle Hempfest], [[Wikipedia:Fremont Arts Council|Fremont Arts Council]], [[Wikipedia:Solstice Cyclists|Solstice Cyclists]] ([http://solsticecyclist.org/ SolsticeCyclist.org]), [http://www.seattlecriticalmass.org/ Seattle Critical Mass]/[http://naked.wikia.com/wiki/Seattle_Critical_Ass Ass], [http://naked.wikia.com/wiki/Body_Pride_Ride Body Pride Ride (BPR)], [http://naked.wikia.com/wiki/NPRseattle Naked Pumpkin Run Seattle], Green America's [http://www.greenfestivals.org/seattle/ Green Festival Seattle], [http://www.burningman.com/ Burning Man] and Regional Burning Man events.

==What to wear? Do not fear!==

:''For details, please see our [[Frequently asked questions]]''

The World Naked Bike Ride dress code is "Bare As You Dare"... How bare is that ? How dare is that ?...Its all up to you, you decide what you are comfortable with. NO ONE IS EXCLUDED OR DISCRIMINATED AGAINST based on levels of clothing, bodypaint, or anything else, for that matter!

PLEASE be creative and colorful! Bodypainting and bike decorating is highly encouraged! See the above section on [[Seattle#Express_yourself!|creative expression]] and also visit our [[body art]] page.

The laws on nudity, for the most part are a bit vague, difficult and often unpopular to enforce. The principal concern of most citizens is to eliminate creepy, predatory, exploitative, destructive and abusive behavior. WNBR is a fun, inspirational, non-confrontational body-positive event with a positive message of hope. That is why the ride has been such a huge hit and so many are supportive. Just use common sense and mind your manners! Nude is not lewd!

Since most of us did not grow up in a body-positive society, many will look at you with curiosity and amusement. You will probably notice that different sections of town have different cultural reactions to nudity. Some may feel mildly intimidated because they still might have issues with their own bodies and your shameless ways are unsettling to their body-phobic world. Just be friendly and respectful and things should be fine. Remember we are all human and we all have the same parts.

::"Gymnophobia (from the Greek word for nude gymnos) is the fear of being (or seeing others) naked. A gymnophobic person usually wants to prevent others from experiencing the freedom of not wearing clothes."

If you are concerned, you probably don't need to cover up much to be "legal". With the incredible transforming powers of a little body paint, liquid latex, a strategically placed sock, or a piece of duct tape you too can transform the average city streaking naked wild cyclist into "The legal city streaking naked wild cyclist". Be creative: a little imagination can change everything.
