Happy Friday - I hope you're able to find beauty wherever you are. This was a really fun photoshoot that I collaborated with a college friend on several years ago in Wichita, Kansas, USA. For many, that's probably a town you've either never heard of before or if you have, that you've never given a second thought to. But it could just as well be Anytown, USA, and perhaps that's the point.

Wichita has grown a lot since my college years when we were making the most of what it provided at the time, but many of the newer 'improvements' have been small, like murals and street art like the one in the background of this image. It was a lot of fun coordinating her outfit with the mural and color tones of other areas in the city.

How many towns have murals or street art that through one simple act of beautification can come to define a small corner of the town or perhaps the town itself? Art matters.

Van Leo is the adopted name of Levon Boyadjian (1921-2002) an Armenian Egyptian photographer known for his Hollywood style portraits of celebrities, artists, and military personal. Often he would take these photos for free as a form of self promotion.

Every day Leo would shut down his shop and dedicate a few hours to taking photographs of himself utilizing different creative props, lighting and costumes.

"My father used to get angry. He'd tell me: 'Did you make the studio for yourself or the customer? Stop making photos of yourself!'"

In 1998 he donated 13,000 photographs, 16,000 negatives, and countless documents to the American University in Cairo including over 1,000 self portraits
