Leslie Lutes | Photographer, Seeker, Observer

One of the main themes in my life that I would like to be remembered for is having a never-ending curiosity! Curiosity about how things work, why things are, to strive to know more, connect more, and be more understanding, which I believe leads to being a better person. This quote has always struck me…

I want to make sure that my artistry will always begin and end with LOVE. Read more>>
