I express myself
with images.~ Helen Levitt

Born on: 31st August 1913
Images have so much more impact than words.
A small baby looking up at their mother.
A groom getting ready for his wedding day.
A family celebrating a moment.
A black and white photo of poverty or war.
From the heights of passion to the lows of desperation photos are the visualization of our souls.
If you want to change the world,
change yourself.~ Madonna Ciccone
