Photo spoofing Anne Geddes by London photographer Lee Goldup for Vice (© Lee Goldup/Vice, http://aka.ms/annegeddesspoof)

Unsmiling naked baby in terra cotta pot: adorable. Unsmiling naked adult in terra cotta pot: madness.

“Don’t you just want to pinch those cheeks?” is something no one will ever say about his picture.

If Geddes sees this gallery, we hope she considers photographing babies wearing fake facial hair and temporary tattoos.

Childhood ends with armpit hair. Fact.

Call us crazy, but this one kind of works. Feeling more sluggish just looking at it.

5 photos create a stunning and strange Anne Geddes tribute

8/10/2012

We thought we liked photographer Anne Geddes, but since seeing this tribute by Vice to one of the world’s most popular artists, we’re not so sure. Usually we love her images depicting adorable babies sitting in flower pots, snoozing in pea pods, or being cuddled by Celine Dion, but now we’re realizing we might have just liked babies. Her setups certainly don’t work without them, as these images replacing the babies with full-grown, naked models in the exact same poses prove. Maybe it’s the tattoos? Maybe it’s the facial hair? Or maybe it’s just kind of ridiculous to have a human being sit in a tulip at any age.
