my conclusion to what Beauty means to me

Is there something to the power of influence. How do photographers like David LaChapelle, Helmut Newton, and most of the jpgers here influence the crowd to show them that what was once perceived as just a another face in the crowd is Beautiful. I agree with what alot of other Jpgers personal posts that true beauty comes from within, but so does the ability to communicate that beauty to others. It's just great what people are writing about, it really makes u dive just a little deeper, not just to jump on the bandwagon of personal posts and a chance to get into the magazine but to know oneself a little better. I feel beauty floating around me in the form of a good feeling about all this. I wrote in my previous post that beauty will always be in the eye of the beholder, but i forgot to mention the amazing ability to show through photography and writing, pointing and talking where beauty is that may have been lost before. All of the people who have contributed to these beauty posts are beautiful themselves and shown us beauty where we may not have seen it before, plus created great art in the process, Congradulations, u have done what some of the great photographers and artists have done.... Pioneered Beauty (if that even makes sense, use ur intuition) The very idea that there are different people with different opinions of beauty makes it fantastic for the rest, we can see what others see and rest assured if we've been missing something, eventually we'll see it, thanks to those Pioneers of Beauty. In an attempt to feel better about myself i'll only post self portaits here, maybe in my attempts to make myself look half way decent i'v pioneered beauty myself, and the greatest part is it never ends, theres always a new rock to turn over and find something beautiful. I seem to think faster than i can keep up with and i hope i did'nt leave anything out, oh shit i know i did (deep breath)well, i think i'm done, or am i.........
