My quote of the week:


"Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

Julia Margaret Cameron 1864–1875

Julia Cameron, the first famous woman photographer. She began he career as a photographer at a late age of 48 after receiving a camera as a gift. Julia made everyone model for her whether they were friends, family, servants or residents of her hometown Freshwater. She had connections through her husband and was able to move up into some of the highest circles of society in England and take their portraits. And overtime became well known for her celebrity photographs. Most of her photography was not appreciated at the time and went away from the norm of portraits but she did many close ups and tried to capture the essence of the models which helped inspire more modern photographers.
