What do you think of this?

I just also posted this on the photography.ca fan page

I just wonder how my kid would feel later in life about being dressed up and photographed as Hitler. That would be my main concern. I understand she was trying to protray a thing about evil. I don't quite get how that was accomplished dressing a cute little babe. I don't get it. Maybe that is my problem. Either way..I find it in poor taste. IMO.

hmm, If she's working on the theory that all evil people started as cute little babies then I get it. But I doubt she needed to dress her baby like this. I am a little appalled that one would use innocent babies as part of a political agenda regardless of the motive.

Of course I also hate Anne Geddes stuff too.

I'm with you. I see nothing here except the express intent of creating something with shock value...and it's working obviously.

It's kind of like performance art in a way. I dunno there is nothing about the photography that stands out. "I put my baby in costumes to make her look like tyrants. Look at me!" Meh.

Should have said artist with no talent seeks fame. I neither appalled nor find them of any interest. It is not like she is white supremacist who indoctrinates her kids into believing the nonsense, she is just an idiot who is looking for fame at any price. People like her are a dime a dozen, if people ignore her she may just go away or she may come up with another costume set.
