I was doing research for Monday's Moxie Writers post. I struggled to find something related to Media Mondays. I searched MLB. Nothing. Indie artists doing something for a cause. Nothing. So when I saw this
post pop up in my Facebook news feed, I was immediately drawn to it. Then I
viewed the photos, and I was touched. After watching the NBC video, I was
absolutely moved.
We have such strict criteria in our society for beauty.
Often that includes high cheekbones, a strong jaw, perfect teeth. But fashion
photographer Rick Guidotti is redefining beauty through his art. The main
purpose of his work is to present realistic (rather than devastating) images to
parents about what disability truly looks like. Hint: it’s really not the scary
thing society of the past has made it out to be.
Check out his photos and the video and see for yourself. Rick was present to take photographs at SOFT's annual convention, which appears in the segment, as well. I
so want to meet this man someday! What an amazing and life-changing way to use
his talent!
