I stumbled upon this series of photographs of mothers and their babies by Taiwanese photographer Gao Yuan. The title is Twelve Moons and features 12 moms with their babies, each correlating with an animal from the Chinese zodiac. The women photographed are all married to low-wage construction workers from villages across China (source: Gao Yuan).
Check out the entire series on the Gao Yuan website.

I love everyday family photos, so I was really happy to come across this online gallery from Life magazine. The images of mothers with their children are from the Life Classics series and are included in the book LIFE with Mother.
I almost did a post on another Life gallery called Famous Literary Drunks and Addicts, but the mothers with their kids thing is a little more uplifting for a Monday morning.
During my latest trip to Brooklyn and northern New Jersey, my best friends and I recorded ourselves performing the infamous Top That rap from the classic 80s film Teen Witch. What follows is that rap plus a montage of shenanigans that most people would consider embarrassing.
As I sat in this room, a make-shift theatre in the back of an organic grocery shop, with four women and two nursing babies, I was carried by their momentum. Surrounded by their art and baby food jars felt as organic as the produce shelved around me.
Oh, thank God, I thought. They’re porn-friendly moms. Now I can relax and enjoy my third cup of coffee.
I busted out the old sewing box my mom gave me years ago and fished around for a solution. And what did I find? A Led Zeppelin patch I got from the record store I worked in 15 YEARS AGO. Here’s what went through my head at this discovery…
Remember how I wrote about going home to Virginia for Christmas? Well, I left out a little something we now refer to as “The Disco Christmas Sleepover of 2009,” wherein my best friends and I drank too much and decided to do a dance video.
