About Cherished Thoughts With Love
Product Description A baby is magic. But a baby in Anne Geddes's work is simply out of this world. One of the most respected and successful photographers working today, Anne Geddes mixes photography, imagery, and imagination in a way that truly captures the innocence and essence of children. In her images we see new life for all it is-and all it can be. Now comes Cherished Thoughts with Love, the follow-up to one of Anne Geddes' best-selling titles, Little Thoughts of Love. Cherished Thoughts combines the beautiful images that first appeared in Until Now and Pure with a special selection of poignant quotations about childhood, family, and the unmatchable bond between a mother and her baby. This is a book about new beginnings, tiny miracles, and futures rich with promise. Cherished Thoughts with Love offers proof, once again, that Anne Geddes has both the eye and the ability to convey these rich themes like no one else. Her books take readers into a different world, a place where comfort and joy flow from every page. From Publishers Weekly Geddes' distinctive photographs of dressed-up children and babies atop flowers or in cans took the world by storm in the 1990s, and soon cards, calendars, debit cards and t-shirts featured her work. In this latest photo installment, Geddes places a quote about childhood alongside each photo, thus the words of Hubert Humphrey, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Elie Wiesel, Magic Johnson and FDR are presented-some slightly out of context (for instance, Depression-era president Herbert Hoover's comment that "Children are our most valuable natural resource")-for consideration when eyeing a tiny baby or a pregnant belly. Many of the photographs are of the overly familiar baby-on-a-leaf-or-flower motif, but there are a few striking shots, including one reminiscent of a crime scene that shows a baby's feet and head protruding from what appears to be a tattered burlap sack. ("The finest inheritance you can give a child is to allow it to make its own way, completely on its own two feet," notes Isadora Duncan in the picture's accompanying quote.) However, the soft focus close-ups of tiny faces or hands are beautiful, and the juxtaposition of pregnant woman and babies will make this a big player on the baby shower circuit. Photos.
