SURVIVAL OF THE THINKING

Model Hannah Doerksen embodies a concept of aloofness & the mysterious aspect of elegant womanhood captured by photographer Mikaela Lyrea stimulates thoughtful musings, and much later conversations. At first glance I am immediately placed in the historical context of a type of mystique Audrey Hepburn was known for sustaining in the eyes of her public. Those times birthed the necessity of  a mystique to survive as a woman, and to thwart the advances of the thousands of crude men in the shadows. What skills have been added to the survival mechanisms women must employ to walk and work in cities across the United States, and the Western world is dependent upon the level of crudeness of the men who walk and work in the cities.  - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 8.22.12
