It's stunning, sure, but a tad over-exaggerated.

I'm just scared of that damn picture. Everytime I see the picture, it stares right through me and shames me for all the bad I've done.
i read the title as '125 years of pornography'

Personally, I thought it was cooler when the same photographer tracked her down and found her 20 years later.
those eyes are pretty mesmerizing
Got a load of old Nat geo mags from the 50s to the 70s stashed away somewhere

It's sad how her eyes faded like that - they had such fire before. It's trully depressing to see what a hard life can do to a person like that.
that image kinda lost its impact after i read that certain hentai with a certain photographer
My teacher says photography is 186 years old.
125 of National Geographic not photography.

It's probably just film vs digital and the lighting
