The book consists of 65 black-and-white photographs of her three

children, all under the age of 10. Many of the pictures were taken at

the family's remote summer cabin along the river, where the children

played and swam in the nude. Many explore typical childhoodthemes (skinny dipping, reading the funnies, dressing up, vamping,

napping, playing board games) but others touch on darker themes

such as insecurity, loneliness, injury, sexuality and death.

Man believes these photos to be

natural through the eyes of a

mother, since she has seen her

children in every state: happy, sad,

playful, sick, bloodied, angry

and even naked.

Dawoud BeyDawoud Bey said both he and

his work are products of the

attitude, if youre not part ofthe solution, youre part of the

problem. This philosophy

significantly influenced his

artistic practice and resulted in

a way of working that is both

community-focused and

collaborative in nature.

Bey shows how a community

of people defines themselves

at a particular historicalmoment.

"Family Pictures and Stories",

Weems has said, "I use my own

constructed image as a vehicle

for questioning ideas about the

role of tradition, the nature of

family, monogamy, polygamy,

relationships between men and

women, between women and

their children, and between

women and other womenunderscoring the critical

problems and the possible

resolves."
