TITLE: "Susanne"

I believe that vulnerability makes us a nicer human beings and that this makes the world a little more friendly and more understanding.
People who show themselves vulnerable give the other the confidence that they themselves may be who they are.
The vulnerability that I see in people I want to show in my photos.
