New art project! "Nothing Less Than Beautiful"

"The idea is to combine powerful stories with powerful images. So many body positive campaigns I see focus only on the body itself, through photo sessions. Clearly I think this is an important aspect, but I want to pair these photographs with personal stories about how people deal with and get over their insecurities. People will share stories about being teased or mocked, the physical and emotional pain they've been through, and ways they've tried to get over it." -Sister Gloria LeLuia (pictured)

Open to anyone, this is a creative/editorial project and is not for profit. Please contact me if you're interested in being involved and telling your story!

Summer is almost here! What's your favorite vacation spot? One of my favorite places to visit is this seaside town that seems exactly the same as it was when I was a kid. Gotta try the Peppermint Stick Ice cream if you ever visit.
