“Far more powerful than religion, far more powerful than money, or even land or violence, are symbols. Symbols are stories. Symbols are pictures, or items, or ideas that represent something else. Human beings attach such meaning and importance to symbols that they can inspire hope, stand in for gods, or convince someone that he or she is dying. These symbols are everywhere around you.”
“Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them—if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
This photo shoot showed up on my On This Day notifications on Facebook today, and I thought I would take the opportunity to share these with you. This photo shoot was in 2016, two years ago on the Billings Montana Rims with a Montana photographer and dear friend of mine, Tom D'Artiste. You can find him on facebook ! I did all of my own makeup for this photoshoot , and love how these images came out :) These are just a few of my favorites !
