My sister.

Posted by Jimmy (Pittsburgh, United States) on 21 October 2007 in People & Portraits.

I'd like to introduce you to my sister, Teresa. She is basically my favorite person alive. She is a brilliant writer, a humanitarian, an activist, and one of those rare people that are so alive it hurts. To know her is to love her.

A bit about the image: Why, you might ask, does it not look all dramatic and digital and highly edited? Because, I'd say, it isn't. A beautiful image is not about how long you took in photoshop to tweak the tone curve or how much sharpening you added in lightroom. It's not about how slick and Hollywood it looks. A beautiful image, in my opinion, is all about beautiful content.
