Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely Beautiful
Review: Anne Geddes is a truly gifted artist. I have admired her work for a long time now and it just gets better and better every time. God has blessed with a truly unique talent to capture the innocence and fragility of such young children!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: High Kitsch
Review: Geddes' manages to degrade and isolate her subjects. Her prehistoric "cutsie" images, though appealing to a kitsch market, do not allow for a social comment to transcend the visual confines of her exploitive commercial "photography". In some senses, she could be seen as a radical post-modernist artist, as she abstracts the subject from social normality and removes any dignity from the development of the child, if that was her so calling in contemporary art. Yet it is frightening to be in an age where people will grasp such superficially degrading images. Geddes has made a personal fortune off photographing babies, subjects usually positioned in inhumane circumstances (ie: babies in flowerpots or dipped in custard), which removes human dignity and allows us to question Geddes moral intent.

Summary: ANNE GEDDES EXPLOITS!
Review: Has anyone ever given a thought to the young children who are grossly exploited in ALL of ANNE GEDDES work. This woman has made her money off exploiting babies who have had their basic human rights taken away from them. This is a significant breech of human rights.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This calendar is quite popular at my house
Review: I don't know anything about Annde Geddes. All I know is that thiis calendar is up at my house and people love it. I can't believe all the rave reviews people give it when they see it.

The product is simple enought. It's a 12-month calendar with a picture above the month. All of the pictures in this calendar contain a baby dressed in outfit paying tribute to the month. All of the pictures are well taken and I must admit the pictures are quite cute. Some don't do as much for me as others do, but it's not that bad of a calendar.

I would never buy this calendar for myself. I would buy it for any woman in my life that loves children and babies and I have. It's a cute calendar that can be enjoyed by all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Beauty of a Child......
Review: The way that Anne Geddes shares her love of Children and Photgraphy is shown in EVERY photo she shares with the world. I get such joy from seeing her work. As always the babies are absolutely adorable. The beauty of each child is so different. It is not always in the face but in the feet and hands and ears and toes and tiny fingers. I for one am in love with her work and will continue to buy her items.
