Please indulge me on this one guys!!!
For sure, Every Picture Tells a Story, but in going through the many pictures of this year's WNBR from all over the world, a couple of super photographers captured moments of magic in the faces of two riders that spoke volumes about the truly beautiful women in the pictures.
One is our beautiful young platinum wigged picture friend in Toronto. You see this wonderful portrait, and beneath the plastic hair we can see that she is young and perky, and you just know sometimes she can be a little naughty, but she is always a lot of fun, and a joy to be around. It's never dull when she is in the room, and her life is going to be very interesting for years to come.
The other rider is in London. This picture captures the essence of a young woman who is maturing into not only a truly beautiful female, but her face and expression show that a truly wonderful person resides inside that stunningly smooth skin. You just know that if she has pets, she treats them ever so lovingly. And when she has children she will be a truly gifted and loving mother. The story in her eyes says she is confident and caring, competent and compassionate. It is the picture of a perfect blossom on the verge of peak bloom.
In that one split second, each of these photographers captured all that information that tells us so much more than just a picture of a beautiful body on a bike. These are pictures that talk to us, and may say different things to different viewers. I do feel a touch guilty that I don't have the names handy of the people who took those pictures, if they even posted their real names. But they know who they are, and I hope they know how much their talented picture taking is appreciated. The first big portraits are a couple of masterpieces. The other pictures compliment them and round out the stories.
