New humans

French photographer Thierry Bouët takes photographs of babies in their first hours after being born. I love their very specific expressions: scared, goofy, mad, sleepy and worried. They look like little old men.

  35. Isn't it interesting how similar humans are at the beginning and ends of the lives? Reminds me of Shakespeare's The Seven Ages of Man in which he refers to old age as a "second childishness".

    These kids do NOT look happy to see the camera stuck in their faces. "I was JUST born. Give a baby some room!"

    ReplyDelete

  36. I can't get over their fuzziness and pinkness! I've been seriously feeling the baby bug lately, and seeing these makes me want one even more...maybe it's time to get a puppy or a goldfish to stave of the whole breeding thing for a few more years.

    I remember saying to the nurse when my second one was born, "Aww she looks just like a monkey.....but cute, isn't she?" - the nurse said to me, "Oh yes, but we decided we'll keep her..." with the warmest voice...

    Those babies are so precious with full of hope:)
