REFLECTIONS ON BEAUTY
What is beauty? Is it really in the eye of the beholder? Perhaps we should look to help women of all ages see themselves in a new light, not what they see in magazines promoting unachievable perfection. Unfortunately, beauty has been commercialized and distorted in our society. It presents a standard of comparison that can cause dissatisfaction when not achieved. Attractiveness across many cultures is equated with symmetry and balance as well as fertility, with inner beauty factored in. Physical attractiveness is only skin deep.

Africa 2009
I have been in Africa traveling through Namibia and South Africa over a wide range of conditions. Cool and damp in Swakopmund near the skeleton coast of Namibia; even cooler at the Cape Cross seal colony; hot and dry at the Sossusulei dunes; warm to hot watching the animals at the salt pan waterhole in Etosha; and cold in the morning to hot in mid-day at Kirkman's Camp in Northeast South Africa. The variety of wildlife is quite amazing. I found their behavior facinating as well. I hope to share some of my images as well as stories over the next few months, as soon as jetlag resolves and I catch up with life.
Eyes of Africa
The wildlife of Africa have such soulful eyes. Perhaps due to the struggles of their day to day existence.
