"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths.  These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness and a deep loving concern.  Beautiful people do not just happen."

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

How true.  As a photographer I see each day that beautiful people have a real, honest and personal story.  To feel deeply, and to live with appreciation and compassion, is to create the most inspiring beauty.  Your world view, and the way you treat others, is a camera pointed directly back into your eyes.
