Kisigin, I like the way you think! Yes! Wabi-sabi...
I've seen photos of broken pottery that the Japanese have mended by filling the cracks with molten gold, to highlight and honor its previous history.
As far as the Nu book goes, I love happy naked people of all sizes and shapes. I've modeled nude for a private shoot when I was 21, and had a great time. I really am against the extensive Photoshopping of models in mainstream media; it creates a misleading vision of what beauty is and people cause physical and mental harm to themselves to try and match it.
I plan to order a copy of this book!
