The hidden beauty...a pictorial of the inner city.

I want to go into the inner city and find the beauty that exist. The inner city has long been thought of as dark and dangerous. I know that we can find inspiration in the place that people think none exist.

In a world where the economy is tough and violence increases daily, I want to go on a journey to find beauty where most think it doesn't exist; the inner city. The inner city is a tough place where most won't venture. Where we end up in the "wrong part of town." I know that beauty and inspiration can be found there. I want to venture to walk into several inner cities around the world and photograph the beauty that exist. There will be moments of inspiration and there will be moments of true sadness. But I know that I can capture something that no one else can see or wants to see. I just need the chance and I will show what is hidden under the rough exterior. I need the chance of a lifetime.

The people who live there probably don't think their life is so full of darkness and danger. It is an "outsider's" view to think that beauty does not exist there. Where there are people, beauty exists. Remember when/if you go, for some people, it is not "the wrong side of town."

If I spent a day on the internet, I could find people who have done this, but it doesn't matter. This is what you believe in, and I'm not going to attack your ideas or your desire to fulfill this dream. Good luck. I voted for you.

Beauty is in the time, place, and energy (but you know that). I love finding what's wonderful about what's been written off by society ... no matter what it is. Good luck! You have my vote!
