legends: june.

the book legends by john miller catalogs "women who have changed the world."  given to me as a gift 8 years ago, it inspired me to dedicate the last friday of every month's post to a different legend (in my humble opinion).

this month (and yes, i know i'm late this month!  the friday "it" list got me off schedule, sorry!): princess di.   

her life breaks my heart, but i've always been enamored of the stunning photographs taken by mario testino shortly before her death.  she just seemed so...happy.  for once in her too public and too short life.

the photographer, mario testino

"i knew what my job was: it was to go out and meet the people and love them."

-princess diana 

and she did it beautifully.
