Giving Birth by Mary Motley Kalergis
"The people in this book come from many different backgrounds. There is a teenage mother, a middle-aged professional woman, a carpenter in his late forties, a postal worker, a surgeon, a car mechanic. The overriding power of birth and creation dissolves their differences, leaving only the common bond of love for their children and awe at the process by which they arrive. I've alway felt my photography should be a mutual exchange of gifts -- an intuitive collaboration. The subjects give some aspect of themselves to me, and I give it back to them as a photograph." -- MMK
