In light of yesterday’s tragedy I decided to share a portrait of a friend in a dress that is pretty much all American. I read a quote yesterday where the author noted that in the footage from the Boston Marathon explosions people were seen running toward the scene, to help. He went on to say that humans are inherently good. That if we weren’t, we would have killed ourselves off long ago. I believe this. This is one of the reasons I photograph. To show people the goodness and beauty in others and in themselves.
My beautiful, kind, generous friend Heather:
Love this portrait of your friend. I love how she is connecting with you through the lens.
Such lovely words and portrait. I believe that as well, and hope more of us can choose to look at the good in the world instead of dwelling on the bad. Thank you for the reminder.
Beautiful portrait! I love the light in her eyes and the framing. Your words are so true.
and that expression summarizes so poignantly the feeling i and others have. so right on in every way. hoping everyone you knew here is ok.
Beautiful representation in response to a tragic event. Your words and the connection with the subject blend perfectly. Truly uplifting.
