This photo is hot! Share it!
Her name is Lee. When asking her if I could take her picture, she immediately became flustered, saying that if her hair were combed, she would be a bit more willing. But just as I was putting my camera away, she changed her mind. She's says that she's a 62 year old mother of 8 and that it's been years since she's had her picture taken.
"I used to be a pretty young thang but, I've had a hard road...I've been through things that would make you blush, little girl! But y'know, I don't think I would change any of the things I've been through 'cause they've made me the woman I am..."
Thank you, Lee! :o)

This image speaks volumes. Though you can see the hard times chiseled in her features you can also see the beauty that was once there in her eyes. Very powerful image and beautifully captured. If you ever run into Lee again, let her know there are still people in the world who thinks she is beautiful ;)
