Anne Geddes
Infant Infatuation
By Tara Swords
"To get three African American babies in New Zealand all the same age would be impossible," she says. "African American babies are so divine and they're so beautiful. If I was African American and I picked up Until Now I would feel that the babies were represented. It's wrong what's available to them out there. A very small percentage of them are African American and I'm trying to do something about that."
Geddes' deep care for babies and children extends beyond the lens. Though she's reluctant to talk about it, a portion of the sales from products goes toward the prevention of child abuse and neglect. This started with a calendar in 1992, and now, with Geddes' images being recognized and loved around the world, the money donated to the cause has increased significantly.
"It will always be that cause," she says. "We don't make such a big deal about it. The more we are involved in charity work, the more I want to do it quietly."
"Babies are the great levelers, aren't they?" Geddes says. "Everybody loves a baby and babies are common to verybody. I think a lot of the reason for the success of my images is that most people in their daily lives never come across a newborn baby."
