Human photography essay

Why don’t people care for their bodies?

My theory —

Christian, Protestant, American culture says it is a vice to care for your body (“too much”)—

Thus the will to uglification of the body. Christians — the early Christian fathers, many of them hated the body, their bodies!

In a diseased body lies a diseased mind.
