·Bodies and Souls: The Century Project photographed by Frank Cordelle $46.95 (www.heurekaproductions.ca)
Back in the ’90s, Cordelle started a plan to photograph naked women whose lives span 100 years. Rather than a collection of some pervy guy’s shots of nude women, the Century Project became a powerful exhibition/celebration of more than 90 girls and women of many ages, shapes, sizes and conditions from zero-year-old Cara emerging from the womb to 94-year-old Mary. Each photo is accompanied by a statement from the woman about her body and/or the experience of being photographed naked.
