Daniel Racz Takes Us on a Journey of New York and Girls With Curls

I've been meaning to cover Daniel Racz for a while. He's a buddy of mine from when I lived in California. Neither of us still do. He's living in New York; where he runs a blog called Girls With Curls. He profiles locations he visits along with a curly haired companion of the day. 

Daniel is a photographer, philosopher and traveler, and makes ample use of the social media share his world with "the" world. His little snippets of intense wisdom, come together with an understanding of the beauty of women, and landscapes (city/natural), to present a complete package.
