newborns and old men


I've always thought that newborn babies need a day or two to adjust to the world, and a few weeks to really start to look like themselves. At first they just look a little bit like old men, all skinny, bewildered and wrinkly. That's why I love Thierry Bouët's series on newborn babies, he captures all these old-man moments in babies just hours after they've been born.
