Thanks to the latest reply my mother posted on my "discussions" tab about beauty on my Facebook page, a new topic has sparked a little fire under my ass (in a good way). This is why I attached the picture of the photograph of a pregnant woman's belly to this... as you can see, her belly bears the stretch marks that her pregnancy has caused, yet she still exposes them and allows them to be put on film. In our society, some things like stretch marks, are thought of as "flaws" that we should hide because they're ugly. However, when I look at this photogragh, all I see is beauty, and the last thing I see is ugliness or flaws. PLEASE share your thoughts about this one...I'd love to hear them!
I love this photo. I like pregnancy is beautiful in everyway.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the response Sam! This photo takes my breath away, especially because the model isn't trying to hide her "imperfections."
ReplyDeleteI think of them as battle scars. "Sure I've got these... but look what they got me in return" sort of mentality. Also, as someone presently extending her stretch mark collection, the black and white photography helps. :)
