Imagine traditional Mother Goose rhymes, paired with photographs in city settings. Nina Crews uses color photographs and digitally manipulates them to bring a modern touch to well-known nursery rhymes. The photographs were taken in Crews’ Brooklyn neighborhood, and include realistic photos combined with more fantastical—the photograph for “Humpty Dumpty” shows two boys looking with astonishment at a worried egg sitting on a brick wall. The “Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe” is paired with full-sized shoes and miniaturized photographs of children playing jump rope, tug of war, and ball on stairs, while being reprimanded by the old woman. In “Diddle Diddle Dumpling, my son John”, the photograph is of a fully-dressed boy asleep on his bed. The combination of realism and digital manipulation creates an up-to-date version of a well-loved classic. Preschoolers will relate to photographs of children like themselves and will enjoy visiting this modern classic again and again.
