Images of Mothers Around the World

Majke 

During the sixties of the last century, prominent American photographer Ken Heyman shot a series of photos for a Pulitzer-nominated book called Family, which he co-wrote with anthropologist Margaret Mead. 

This book was one of the ten biggest selling photography books; selling over a quarter million copies. 

Photos were intimate family scenes from all over the world, accompanied with anthropologist Margaret Mead’s brilliant texts. The photos themselves are such a sensitive interpretation of motherhood and an unique document of the time. They give us a touching multicultural perspective of an unmistakable maternal bond and love. 

Although Heyman published the photos almost 50 years ago, they show us how little or nothing hasn't change about motherhood. Mothers in Heymans photos are just as their modern-day counterparts cuddling, grooming, feeding, multi-tasking, rocking and loving their children. 

Exhibitions of Heyman's work have been held at the Museum of Modern Art, the Hallmark Gallery, The International Centre for Photography in New York City and The Zabriskie Gallery in Paris. Ken Heyman's work has brought him a number of awards including "The World Understanding award," considered to be one of the top awards in photography. It is given "to honor the photographer whose work has contributed most to a better understanding among the world's people." 

We hope you will enjoy this magnificent photo gallery as much as we did.

Šesdestih godina prošlog veka američki fotograf Ken Heyman je snimio seriju fotografija za knjigu Family, čiji je i autor zajedno sa antropologinjom Margaret Mead. Zabeleživši prodaju od četvrt million primeraka, ova knjiga je postala jedna od najprodavanijih foto-monografija ikad. Ujedno, nominovana je i za Pulicerovu nagradu. 

Na fotografijama su zabeleženi intimni prizori porodičnog života iz celog seta, a svaku prati briljantan tekst Margaret Mead. Naš subjektivan osećaj je, da su ove fotografije jedna od najosjećanijih intrepretacija majčinstva i neponovljiv dokument vremena. Sa toliko zanimljivosti, svaka od njih prikazuje nepogrešivu vezu i ljubav između majke i deteta. Međusobne različitosti ovih svetova zapanjuju i zadivljuju, iznova i iznova. 

Iako je Heyman ove fotografije objavio pre više od pedest godina, one nam pokazuju da se ništa nije promenilo kada je majčinstvo u pitanju. Majke na njegovim fotografijama, kao i njihove savremenice danas, smeju se, igraju se i maze sa svojom decom, nežne i brižne. 

Heymanovi radovi su izlagani u Muzeju moderne umetnosti u Njujorku, Hallmark galeriji, Internacionalnom centru za fotografiju u Njujorku i Zabriskie galeriji u Parizu. Za svoj rad primio je brojna priznanja, među kojima je i "The World Understanding Award", jedna od najprestižnijih nagrada za fotografiju, koja se dodeljuje fotografu čiji rad je doprineo boljem razumevanju među ljudima.

Family Meal - Baked Butternut Pumpkin

Pečena muskatna bundeva, recept za celu porodicu 

The lack of quality fresh vegetables on the market means that nutrition for your toddler can easily become monotonous and uninspiring. Yet you still can find lots of types of healthy pumpkins from which you can easily prepare a tasty meal.

Here is a simple recipe that you and your baby will adore. To prepare this dish you will need:

• a medium-sized or larger half butternut pumpkin (quantity sufficient for 4 persons)
• one tablespoon olive oil
• salt and pepper (do not use spices for babies up to 9 months)
• garlic (according to taste)

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Peel and slice the pumpkin into cubes of medium size, thickness of about half a cm. Spray the baking dish with olive oil and add the pumpkin. Chop garlic and sprinkle on the pumpkin. Add a little salt and pepper. Coat with aluminium foil and bake at 200 degrees Celsius for 30-40 minutes.


This dish can also be prepared using sweet potatoes instead.

Bon appetit!

Kako na pijacama još uvek nema svežeg povrća dobrog kvaliteta, ishrana vašeg mališana lako može postati jednolična i nezanimljiva. Ipak, na pijacama se i tokom zimskih meseci mogu naći razne vrste bundeve, od koje se lako i jednostavno može pripremiti zdrav obrok.

Evo jednog jednostavnog recepta za pripremu priloga od bundeve, koji ćete vi i vaša beba prosto obožavati. Za pripremu ovog jela potrebno vam je:

• jedna srednja ili pola veće muskatne bundeve (količina dovoljna za 4 osobe)
• supena kašika maslinovog ulja
• so, biber (nemojte koristiti zacine za bebe do 9 meseci)
• beli luk (po zelji)

Zagrejati rernu na 200 stepeni. Oljuštiti i iseći bundevu na kockice srednje veličine, debljine oko pola cm. Vatrostalnu činiju poprskati maslinovim uljem i u nju naslagati komade bundeve. Iseckati beli luk i posuti po bundevi. Dodati malo soli i bibera. Prekriti aluminijumskom folijom i peci na 200 stepeni oko 30 do 40 minuta.

Ovo jelo mozete takođe pripremiti, koristeći slatki krompir umesto bundeve.

Prijatno!
