Rick Guidotti\u2019s life has been all about beauty and the power of images. He spent years as a fashion photographer in Milan, Paris, and New York. But 15 years ago, while photographing a woman with Albinism, Guidotti was shocked by images in medical textbooks. Those medical pictures changed his life and ever since Guidotti has devoted his talent to the disabled. Dr. Nancy Snyderman reports.<\/p>\n

Interviewed for NBC\u2019s Rock Center, photographer Rick Guidotti said: \u201cIt\u2019s not about saying, \u201cCompare Claudia Schiffer or Cindy Crawford to this girl. It\u2019s about\u2013 it\u2019s about reinterpreting beauty. It\u2019s about having an opportunity to see beyond what you\u2019re told and what we\u2019re forced to believe that that\u2019s beauty.\u201d[Source-click for more photos<\/a>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nGrace, a second grader, photographed by Rick Guidotti. <\/p>\n

I would also add that Guidotti\u2019s photography goes beyond just pushing beauty\u2019s boundaries. He shows the viewer that all life has worth. Bravo. <\/p>\n

And now for more beautifully done artistic photos. This time showing ballet dancers in everyday situations. Warning:<\/strong> One of the photos does show a dancer in the shower. His manly bits are completely covered but he is totally nude. If nudity doesn\u2019t offend you, than you can appreciate his sculpted physique. It\u2019s the type of body you\u2019d see cast in marble. <\/p>\n

Gosh, the human body is a wonder. <\/p>\n

And just for fun. NASA found Han Solo\u2019s frozen body, still trapped in carbonite<\/a>. <\/p>\n
