You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

and she will be loved..

18 May, 2006 /

She’s beautiful huh? She has perfect teeth, perfect smile, beautiful eyes, clear skin.
She also has a low self esteem.

She said she thinks she needs to lose weight and her that her nose is too big.
I took 400 pictures of her, I developed 75 of them and I asked her, “you tell me in which picture you look fat or that your nose is too big?”

When I left she was looking at her pictures and herself in a whole new light. I didn’t make her beautiful, but I caught it and I got to share it.

I might have found my calling. I want people who don’t feel beautiful to look at themselves with new eyes, with MY eyes.

Now if I could just teach myself that lesson I could stop deleting all the pictures of myself that we take.
