I just want to mention my favorite photographer that I've ever seen.  Her name is Rachel Loux and I've known her since she was a baby, so I know when I say that she is incredibly talented in many forms of art.  She always catches the perfect light at exactly the right angle to take beautiful photographs.  She also knows the secrets of editing, not to change the image completely, but to enhance the beauty that she's already captured.

I think this is definitely one of my favorite photos by her.  I was with her the day that she took this picture.  We were driving through downtown Athens after she had just bought a roll of film for her camera.  This one actually doesn't have any editing done to it.  The lighting was just that perfect.  I've always admired her work.  We've been friends for so long, so I'm sure that helps, but she's still an amazing photographer.
