If you aren’t already sick of looking at naked mommy photos, here is another one in New York Magazine. Apparently, the picture is for an article on UrbanBaby, a website of New York mothers.
I thought the photo of the pregnant tired city mom with a toddler hanging off her boob was rather artistic — and realistic! But, it’s always interesting to read the reactions of the child-free crowd such as Salon Broadsheet’s Rebecca Traister:
What is up with the photographs illustrating this piece? Most notably, the one that kicks off the piece’s Web site layout? It’s part of a “My Name Is Mommy” series that runs through the piece, by Gail Albert Halaban, courtesy of the Robert Mann Gallery, so clearly it’s art, not taken specifically for this feature. And I suppose it does perfectly match the Gothic pitch of the rotted-out domestic landscape depicted in the story. But how many people are going to be reading the whole eight-page piece, and how many are going to be staring goggle-eyed at the creepily eroticized images of female torment depicted inside?
I won’t be reading the whole article because I don’t have time. But unless you’re creepy, I doubt you are going to “read” the article just to get off on these photos. Rest assured, Rebecca.
