Leni Riefenstahl was an astoundingly talented photographer who gained a great deal of her notority during WWII. During this time she was a staunch supporter, and close friend, of Adolph Hitler and compiled a great Her photographs assisted the Nazi party in that they glorified a specific body-type and appearance as that of "perfection." These photographs and documentaries were used by the Nazi party to symbolize the prototype of what men and women should be; as the perfect beings. (Margot Rittenhouse)

I confide in you,
looking for a harmonious cue.
A discrete pointer
out of the blue.  
Fresh accord
that breaks within a core,
while I still hunt for more.      - Kirila

"Sometimes people are beautiful. not in looks, or what they say, just in what they are." (Margot Rittenhouse)



And at the moment when we don’t have anything else to say,when we get lost in the present confusions, we go back, as further back as we can. Find the illusory perfection in the things long gone and settled; hope that we could project there and be still for a while, find the peace that will satisfy us for the moment.
