He was a literature student, and he wrote many good stuff that I as a science student didn't quite understand; but one thing I did understand from that paragraph he wrote was the breadth, the width, the depths of the term "beauty". I can't remember the exact words in his paragraph, but that one paragraph really covered what "beauty" really is.
Living in a world that are full of superficial people, sometimes we really find it hard to delve into what we really find beautiful.
To some people, it could be that hot butt.
That full plump lips.
That pair of gorgeous eyes.
That pretty smile.
That carefree, creaseless face.
That freckled face.
A pretty face, a pretty smile.I have a belief.
I truly believe what I see through my viewfinder, is truly beautiful. Good photographers capture the best of a thing, the best of a person, the best of humanity. Allow me to let the photographs do the talking.
Her life is written all over her face
A small beautiful yet fragile lifeNo doubt the photos express depression, we celebrate to see there is still an ounce of humanity amidst this rubbish dump of a world worth of inhumane acts. That, in its simplest form- is beautiful.

When did you last shoot something beautiful?
