Beauty in the eye of the beholder...


A really good friend of mine has been doing some amateur modeling and he just shared with me one of this latest photos.

I will admit, I find him attractive, inside and out, but this latest picture actually made my heart stop for a second.

It was not just the angle, the lighting and the pose, it was seeing him and knowing just how amazing he is and just made me start pondering the meaning of beauty.

To me beauty is more than just the physical, it is the emotional reaction is creates in you. However, when it comes to my relationships, the emotional reaction is often skewed by the physical beauty I see, but that is a topic for another posting someday.

I think the most important thing to any true appreciation of art is to understand what makes you feel and then trust your feelings when you are seeing the work.
