They braved temperatures in the 50s to take part in the nude photo shoot at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame CLEVELAND (AP) - They may have shivered, but they weren't shy. More than 2,700 people braved temperatures in the 50s and a 4 a.m. start time to take part in a nude photo shoot Saturday at a park behind the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum along Lake Erie.
Spencer Tunick, a photographer known for taking pictures of dozens, hundreds or thousands of naked people in public places, snapped the photos for the shoot set up by Cleveland's Museum of Contemporary Art.
He posed 2,754 people to set a North American record for the largest group of naked people in a photograph. Montreal had the previous record with 2,500.
For one photo, Tunick posed the crowd lying on their sides facing the city. After completing the shot from atop a 40-foot scissor lift, Tunick said: "That's the best picture I've ever taken."
Many of those in attendance said they were there to participate in Tunick's artwork.
"This is the only way I'm ever going to get in a museum," said Scott Goodrick, 45, of Cleveland. "I think his work is beautiful. It's an event I wanted to be a part of."
A photo print will be on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art from Aug. 6-8.
Is Spencer Tunick funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities?

There's good naked, and there's bad naked.
Not exactly sorry I missed this one.
I don't think it can be posted on FR. Mind you, I don't have anything against nudity but I question whether its art.
stupid is as stupid does...
I hate those hoax warnings, but this one is important!
Send this warning to everyone on your e-mail list.
If someone comes to your front door saying they are conducting a survey and asks you to take your clothes off, do not do it.!!!
This is a scam; they only want to see you naked.
I wish I'd gotten this yesterday.
I feel so stupid and cheap now.
No one comes to our front door. The dogs scare them off.
Nice pic Dubs, but did you think going swimming first was a good idea ???????
