RICK GUIDOTTI

What is beauty?  What is normal?  What is a disease?  How do we interact with those who many consider not beautiful, abnormal and/or diseased?  Rick Guidotti has opened up a whole new approach to these issues, and IMHO everybody needs to know who Rick is and what he and his organization Positive Exposure are doing.  As a fashion photographer, Rick has photographed virtually all of the super models such as Cindy Crawford shown above.  Then one day, after a shoot, he left his NYC studio and saw an a girl with albinism and was stunned by her beauty.  It struck him that he was being contracted to photograph people who others have decided were beautiful and knew that there was vast beauty beyond the world of cover-girl models.  His story is fascinating and moving - one that took him out of fashion photography, first into the world of people living with albinism, also as shown above, and then into the many worlds of folks living with wide-ranging genetic conditions.  Rather than telling his story, I will let him tell it below - it is well worth your time, your consideration, and your action in your own life.
