Speaking of truckers today, we wonder how many of them ever took the time from watching all that skin on the side of the road to notice photographer Steve Gatlin's more artistic models posing on various bridges, overpasses, and hillsides: for the last few years, he's been taking pictures of them for The Beauty Project, "an exploration of light, motion and the human form" involving nocturnal shots of nudes in outdoor settings. We're going to have a very, very hard time keeping our eyes on the road if we keep coming across this sort of thing.
