Body Image
And The Media
For my Photography class, we are doing a project on Photojournalism. I need to interview several people on the issues concerning Body Image and the Media. The more interviews the better. I tried doing this on facebook first, but since the questions are so personal, peope hesitated. I would really appriciate it if you took a few minutes to help me out. Post your answers as a comment on this quote. Thanks a million. -Michaela ♥
