So much for self-consciousness

Creating a sea of nudity, more than 7,000 people posed naked in Barcelona Sunday for American photographer Spencer Tunick, who specializes in capturing scenes of naked people.
The participants posed several ways, including lying down and kneeling in rows for over an hour.
Mr. Tunick says his work is about form and the shape of the body. He insists he's not creating anything provocative. The eccentric photographer says, in his words, "the body is considered a crime in the United States, but is something special in other countries."
Mr. Tunick has been arrested several times in New York for working with nude people in public.
Sunday's turnout was a record for Mr. Tunick, whose previous high was a crowd of 4,500 in Australia in 2001.
