I was reading an article which was very intriguing to me...

It touches on the subject of 100 photos of "real" women. This subject is what I wanted to focus on for my intermediate digital photo study. My friend, classmate, fellow blogger, and real woman Charity are actually working on this photo series together. We both are going through somewhat similar changes in our lives and both came across this article thinking it would be of great use. While the pictures are artistically stunning and taken beautifully, I don't think it necessarily captures the real woman sensuality I am looking for. If anyone out there in the blogging world has any ideas please feel free to comment.
Anyway, I understand where the influence of Cindy Sherman and Alex Prager came about, but it isn't necessarily hitting the nail on the head for what I want to focus on. We have an assignment on Emulation coming up in class. I will for sure checkout using Cindy Sherman as one of my focuses. More of her to come.
I want to focus on mothers, heavy women, or any woman in general who feels that they are not considered beautiful or photo worthy due to what mainstream media tells us is beautiful. I want to help other women feel beautiful while at the same time hoping that somehow it can help me feel comfortable in my own skin. I know what I want to happen, its just a matter of working hard on the project and finding a way to make it happen...
