Nirvana Issue 13!

This magazine is a about appreciating the female form and photography. I’d love a response as to what equipment was used. Favourite shots: P52. Iconic pose Rachel, excellent colour adaptation from the rock face surroundings. Almost think it could’ve been a shoot on it’s own. P71 Excellent framing, light and highlights. Perceived native excitement displayed by Audrey. Hair on point. Great photo

Finding Authenticity Issue 13 Since there was no message or forward from Rachel, I am making up my own topic. My self-realization of underlying anger is what brought me upon this journey. Rachel’s words from issue 2 made me realize that my thoughts and actions were not congruent to the direction of my life. The anger started several years ago from several disagreements with administration at the hospital I worked at. They would consciously or unconsciously make decisions to negatively affect my practice. They were not interested in working together, only to have a goal of employing all the physicians in the area to gain monopolistic control. Their actions affected my income and ability to maintain a living. At the time, I used anger as a motivation to prove them wrong. In the end, I survived and maintained myself, and the administration moved on. Unfortunately, the anger wore on me and spilled over into other relationships and at home. I knew this is not the person I am or want to be anymore. It wasn’t working for me anymore. I used to be very kind and approachable. I feel ashamed because of the negativity I may have brought to my household and life. Since then, I have shed off the toxic relationships and commitments that were some of the triggers of my negative feelings. My more positive attitude has made me less irritable and more Zen-like. I have been able to have more rewarding interactions with patients and staff. I have also let people know that I am aware and trying to change so that I am held accountable. So, I believe that this was the start to help me find my authentic self. I need to be detached from what other people and forces that are against me. I need to get back to who I truly am. Re-examine my core beliefs, face my faults and change them. I also need make sure I am making conscious decisions for here on to get to my nirvana.

Rachel love your shots at Valley of Fire! How did ya'll get to shoot nude/topless at Nelson?

I love the rough n.tuff outfits, looks like a take charge kinda woman

John Lillo

Agreed on both points.

A great leather and lace issue. Would have loved to see more actual full nudity though.

Well done! Another great issue! Those shots on the red landscape are fire. One question - do you have any plans to work with Carmella Rose on an issue?

Great location and great theme!

Rachel, you make it look so easy, but it’s not easy. The shots on the red rocks are my favorite 😍 Your hair looked perfect. Nice to see a Playboy Playmate in Nirvana. Remember Rachel and Audrey, you tell ‘em whose boss. [fixed a typo]

As always, I was amazed by its beauty. black looks good on you. Of course it is not enough to look at you, you are so beautiful that you are wonderful. thank you.

Loving the vibe from from this old Chevron Gas Station and Rach in the those black leather pants and bra and that awesome cap. And that old vintage car. Audrey is a beauty and sexy addition to the list of models who have appeared in the pages of Nirvana.
