Availability: In stock. Price: $25.95 $23.35 116 pg, hard,’08 Created by an award-winning photographer, this coffee-table book celebrates the female nude form in exquisite, formal photographs of real women—ages 19 to 95—who have real bodies and real lives. Nicely balancing the images are intimate, written statements by each woman to inspire others to make peace with their physical selves. A beautiful book with a beautiful message. FROM THE AUTHOR: “My deepest wish for This Is Who I Am--Our Beauty in All Shapes and Sizes is to start a communication among women and men. We have long been influenced by advertising to think that there is only one type of beauty, which few can achieve. But in truth, there are many kinds of beauty. I hope this book will be used in mother-daughter book clubs, in women's studies programs, as gifts to our sisters, daughters, mothers. The other day a male friend called me to say that he had seen the book. He said he had never seen photographs of women such as this, as he was used to seeing photos of women stylized by men's magazines. I hope this book will help open eyes and hearts. I hope the conversations will be of healing and compassion.” ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Rosanne Olson is a fine art and commercial photographer. Her commercial clients include the New York City Ballet, Seattle Symphony, Boeing, Microsoft, and Hewlett Packard. Her photographs have been exhibited in galleries nationwide and have received many awards. She lives in Seattle with her husband. REVIEWS: “This is an absolutely wonderful book. Every woman needs to see it! It has made me feel inspired, exhilarated, normal and beautiful.” “Give this book to your women friends who are worried about their weight, their height, their wrinkles, their hair, their breasts! It will do more for their self-image than a drawerful of makeup and a trip to the gym.” “Stunning––such a simple but powerful idea” |
