Summary: Amazing
Review: Anne Geddes continues to amaze with these wonderful photographs of babies. What is it about her that she is able to capture the beauty and innocence of children. It truly makes me understand that as a parent we have an awesome responsibility to nuture our children. I loved the range of photos including the black & white, and it was wonderful to see the mix of ethnic races. I did not find the nudity at all a problem - it was at all times tasteful and only served to reflect the wonders of the human body and our ability to create another precious life. Anne keep on inspiring us.

Summary: Delightful
Review: Anne Geddes has presented us with a marvel, a book that speaks volumes but has no words. Page after page the reader is introduced to babies, beautiful, huggable babies. Page after page the reader can enjoy the greatest of miracles and Ann Geddes babies are truly delightful and the reminder that miracles happen every day.

Summary: Kitsch and Completely Disgusting...
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: Baby Bald Eagle
Review: I am a friend of the mother of the Baby Bald Eagle lovingly known as Libby. Clare is a very special woman and regards Anne Geddes as a close friend. She continues to get inspiration from a life size photo displayed in her home of her beautiful little girl which was gifted generously to her by Anne. It's a celebration of a little life which was cut way to short. The book is full of such beautiful babies, none more so than the Baby Bald Eagle. Buy and enjoy the beauty of children.

Summary: No wonder we're over a six billion and rapidly expanding.:P
Review: I call it "maternal porn". Not the usual kind of "porn" or even "kiddie porn", but something that would easily manipulate a woman's maternal instincts until she's almost feral. This stuff seems to be designed to make a woman ache like an untamed animal to feel a baby pushing through her birth canal and its toothless maw kneading at her nipple. But childbirth is originally for adding to the population, not just exciting a woman's most primal urges. So this kind of exploitation can be almost frightening in a whole new light.So such books only objectify babies into trophies for women to covet after - and it's already long after the womenkind decided not to be labelled just as something that makes babies anymore. No wonder, Freud would have a field day!
