I admire both the choice and/or the natural form of what we like to call derivations of African ancestry in blonde haired men and women of tan and brown skin. Some are more blonde than others as there are several descriptions of what we have always called blonde hair. I also want to defend those who are not "natural blondes", but utilize this color by personal choice. More power to all of you who exercise this right for it is a beautiful look. It is very difficult to find these people as there are few of these individuals to which I have access. It is even harder to recruit them on the run while on the street where I find most of the people that I photograph. I love the freedom or the natural makeup of this rare group of people.
