So how do you feel about your body? New book looks at real women

This project caught my attention this morning — An awesome new book by a fellow photographer and Kickstarter. Jade Beall is a photographer in Arizona that began amassing a collection of real women’s bodies and real, unretouched photographs. The goal? Highlight how beautiful the female body is in all its shapes and forms, even with the scars of childbirth.

You can read more about Jade’s project here and how to pre-order a copy of the book on Kickstarter:

Rock on, Jade!

A Beautiful Body Project

A Project to Share: One Dress, One Woman, One World

I came upon this awesome blog/book project last week and wanted to share. A brief overview:

“Jennifer and her dress have traveled across the world in search of adventure, beauty, an excuse to never end her honeymoon with Jeff. Turning a passion for travel into an unprecedented photographic project.”

You can see the story and some photos here: http://www.onedressonewoman.com

I love the entire concept and love their wedding picture especially, since Jennifer was 4o when it was taken! Seems appropriate I think.

Thank you Jennifer and Jeff for sharing a bit with me.
