(AP) SYDNEY (AP) - About 5,200 naked people embraced each other on the steps of Sydney's iconic Opera House on Monday for a photo shoot by Spencer Tunick.
Tunick, who is known for his nude group photos in public spaces, posed participants for more than an hour in a variety of positions.
"It was difficult to get the straight participants to embrace the gay participants and vice versa," Tunick said. "So I was very happy that that last set up finally got done and everyone came together (in a) united, friendly kiss, a loving kiss in front of this great structure."
Nineteen-year-old student Art Rush said he was thrilled to participate.
"I'll never get a chance to do this again; it's not worth being inhibited," Rush said. "It doesn't feel sexual, it just feels tribal, a gathering of humanity."
Tunick has made a name for himself with his works featuring hundreds of naked people at unusual venues.
Tunick, who is shy and adheres to mostly black dress, prefers to be called an artist, not a photographer and refers to his work as installations.Is that you Steve, 17th row down, 46th from the left?

Yeah, you know it. Hey... it was cold, alright!
This happens every couple of years in Aus and it's getting bigger and bigger (obligatory The Office [US] homage - that's what she said). It's fun as like a little odd news story... but it's a slow news day when it is the top story on every news broadcast in the country.
Not that I mind. Keep the news sexy!
