Vanity
EXPLORED ON 15 AUGUST 2009 - # 242
“Beauty's sister is vanity, and its daughter lust.”
Vanity is one of man's most treasured values. It makes us so silly, we don't even realize. I think Vanity is the only thing that makes us crave for the attention and approval of those we don't even care about. Yet, why are we humans so affected by it?
This was shot in the Singapore Zoological Gardens. A beautifully vain bird, who was proud of its crown. But the most alluring part of it, was that it had a beautiful grace to accompany it. I was totally mersmerized.
