Natural Beauty

I caught the tail end of a movie called "Adrift in Manhattan" this weekend.

I can imagine my life as a photographer. The idea of so many New Yorkers allowing a stranger to capture them from close up that way seems absurd to me...

But if it weren't...

If people were unafraid to be seen as they really are, it might make for an incredible collage. It' s an unfortunate aspect of human nature to care about what others think..and some of us care to the point at which we are giving up precious experiences. If a camera captures us at an unflattering angle, we can always just delete the image in one click..

Could these deletions be the most beautiful sides of ourselves going to waste?
