People Are Beautiful. {images}



“All photographs are memento mori. To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s (or thing’s) mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt.”

~ Susan Sontag

Bryonie’s life is rooted in the belief that when we come from a place of love, anything is possible. When not teaching yoga (or playing her crystal singing bowls) she can be found most afternoons at the dog park, with her camera, her love and her dog. Connect with her on Facebook and Twitter.

    Well done, Bryonie. Sontag's quote inspired further investigation. I found a great article about her in the Paris Review <a href="http://(http://bit.ly/djYxy8)” target=”_blank”>(http://bit.ly/djYxy8). Those photos you chose were evocative. I've started my own, personal digital favs album and very much enjoy the 30 or so special shots I put there.
