HI
I have a question
Does it always have to be a girl in a nude photo to be artistically beautiful?
No. 2 — September 17th, 2006 at 9:12 pm
All depends on the viewer, but the male figure can be just as artistically beautiful.

Wow Alex… I’m really happy with how they all turned out… You’re a great photographer! Any ideas for any other shots you wanna do?

These pictures are beautiful, but also very sad. I hope Summer is no longer cutting herself, and has gotten some help for the deep psychological pain those cuts signify.

Thank you Justin… I have done much worse since that shoot, and am sad to say that now I look in the mirror and want to cry at times. But yes, I am getting help for the pain behind them. And I thank you and anyone else for their concern. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to know that even strangers care sometimes.

Well, I’ve just looked over the entirety of your site, and I can say this model is by far my favorite.
She is stunningly beautiful. But of course, Alex, you wisely pointed out her eyes, the window of the soul, and the beauty I saw there magnified her overall physique wonderfully. I like the glasses. Gives her a thoughtful, humble appearance and a woman as beautiful as this one could easily be viewed as arrogant.
I see that rather than avoid the cuts you chose to concentrat on them. This, in my mind, places you well above most artists I’ve seen. You seem to recognize that human beauty can only be understood in its entirety, not just what Wall Street wants to advertise to us.
She is beautiful. And those terrible cuts serve only to accentuate her vulnerability. Whew. Can she not see herself as others do? If she could only look through my eyes…but then, she’s got your camera!
More of Summer?
Thanks, Les

Hey Les…
Alex just pointed out your comment to me, and I must say, I’m totally shocked and pretty much speechless!
You said some very sweet things, and I really appreciate that.
Hahaha, I’ve never been thought of as arrogant… LOL. I’m pretty mellow…
The cuts were a collaboration of ours… I saw that Alex had already done a shot centered on it, and I wanted mine displayed as another form of beauty. Because you’re right, they’re part of me and make me who I am…
But no, I don’t see myself as others do. I see me as just plain ol’ me… *shrug*
But thanks again for your kind words! That was very sweet!

Summer,
Well, I definitely have a soft spot for a beautiful woman. But I try to remain objective. But in the case of a mixture of beauty like yours; your soft body, your expressive, freindly face, and those eyes (I could swim forever in those deep wells!)…well…I still try to be objective. I know I can’t know a person merely from a photograph (or…naaaa), still I do believe yours in particular say a great deal about you. I’m glad you included the cuts. Now, I don’t want you doing any more of them, of course, but I mean what I said about beauty being more than perfection. In fact, I believe perfection is not real and when I see it I’m turned off by it because I know
1) Its not real; it’s merely a facade
2) Because of 1), I really have no idea what I’m looking at.
But not your photos. You? You were truly naked. Truly exposed to us.
And what a treat for us. Thanks, again.

Les,
Thank you once again for your kind words. I was truly exposed for that shoot, and that was the intent. I wanted to be able to let my guard down and let people *really* see me, you know? And Alex captured me in a way no one else has. I know I’m not perfect. Sometimes I wish I was, (ie. bigger boobs, smaller thighs, etc… mostly just the boobs LMAO!) but I know I never will be. *Sigh* Oh well. That’s life. I’m pretty ok with who I am.
And don’t worry, I won’t be doing any more cutting in the foreseeable future. I think I may finally be getting over it…

Thanks Mike… I appreciate the comments!
Every time someone says something like this, it makes me appreciate the fact that I decided to showcase myself in this manner…

Summer:
I looking at the photos I like the one in which Alex took of the eyes. It goes with the quote that the eyes are a window to the soul. How did you make out over the holidays?
