Scandal

“Breasts are a scandal because they shatter the border between motherhood and sexuality”
~ Iris Marion Young

Black and white image of molly's breast in round mirrorI think this is one of my favourite pictures of my boobs, or in this case boob, I have ever taken. I love the almost teardrop curve on it against the straighter edge of my armpit and that you can clearly see the little silvery streaks of lighting flesh (the result of swollen breasts filled with milk) pointing down to my nipple. I could have easily smoothed that out as well as the marks beneath by breast left behind by my sports bra but I didn’t because it is me, honest, imperfect, scandalous me.

This is a beautiful shot – just perfect. I love the quote about breasts being a scandal, too – I agree! x
