Congratulations Cara! I know how much you've dedicated to this project and couldn't be more happy to see you realize your vision through Kickstarter. Yay! I look forward to the day my copy of Singular Beauty arrives. Take care, Megan
Congrats. That was too close!
Great accomplishment!
Congratulations! Important work needs to be seen and preserved and your images in a book are an ideal solution. So looking forward to being able to absorb them again, and again.
I can't wait to put this on my coffee table.
Stunning project. Wish I had backed last weekend to get the 5x7 :)
Cara, these images are beautiful and provocative. Thank you for letting us use your photography on the cover of Cosmetic Surgery: A Feminist Primer. I'm delighted to be able to support you in turn by backing this project. I look forward to Singular Beauty.
