there’s a bit of a story behind this photo. my students and i went for coffee on friday. we decided to go to dunkin donuts, enjoy some coffee and talk. while there, i drank my coffee and under the lid was a prize token. the prize was for a small trash can which looks like a dunkin donuts coffee cup. we had some fun with the trash can, taking pictures and pretending it was a real coffee cup.
i’m not usually a big fan of sports illustrated. while the models are sexy and the swimsuits are great, it’s just not something i get into. however, i recently discovered some great photos from a recent shoot done by sports illustrated using a model named marisa miller.


what’s interesting about these photos is her swimsuit … actually, she’s not wearing one. she’s buck naked. the bikini is body paint. this is pretty impressive. the swimsuit looks really good and very believable. she could walk down the beach and nobody would have any idea that she was naked.
this is a very clever photography shoot. i like the result … the rest of the gallery is available courtesy of sports illustrated.
