Beauty for today … ❤
///
{{Wondering what’s going on here?? Almost a year ago, I found myself on bad terms with the person in the mirror. So I made a commitment: every day for forty days, I’d take *one* photograph of my body that I could honestly see as beautiful. Want to follow my journey? Start here.}}
Beautiful lips..

This one leaps from the screen with its intense three-dimensional feel. Lovely.

Thanks, Robert. I always felt this one captures the essence of early summer… I love that. The openness and hope of it. 🙂

I see what you mean – yes. I wish that you could get all the feedback you wanted from these shots. How does it feel to be so open? I struggle with exposing myself.

This kind of vulnerability is hard, but I believed in what I was doing here, which made it okay with me.
Over the past year, the collection has been silently viewed a *staggering* number of times. I tell myself that at least some of those viewers are looking for the right reasons — to be encouraged; to challenge their own perception of beauty — and that’s why the photographs still float around here in cyberspace. I’ve had my fair share of creepy voyeurs, too, and I try to just let that go — cost of creating something meaningful.
Thanks for commenting so thoughtfully.

You’re very welcome. Thoughtful is as thoughtful does, sometimes. 🙂
I remember the first time around thinking how extraordinarily brave a thing you were doing and how it might be something I would want to do myself at a future date. Beauty is a strange wee beastie isn’t it!

You should do it! Truly life-changing. It’s not for everybody, but if you feel a pull in that direction, I hope you’ll follow where it leads for a bit. 🙂
