As a mother of two who is currently expecting a third child, Guerin is particularly interested in the exploration of the maternal body. As she photographs women on their journey through pregnancy, Guerin’s own belly grows along with them. In celebrating the miracle of life, Guerin’s striking photographs create a sense of intimacy, not only for the subject at hand, but also for the viewer.

Million Trees NYC is part of PlaNYC, the most extensive plan to strengthen New York City’s urban environment ever undertaken by an American city. Unveiled by Mayor Bloomberg on Earth Day, the 127-point plan is designed to create the first environmentally sustainable 21st century city. By planting one million trees, the City’s urban forest —its most valuable environmental asset made up of street trees, trees in parks, and trees on public, private and commercial land—will increase by an astounding 20%. It will also usher in many quality-oflife improvements that come with planting trees. “Planting a million trees will make a noticeable difference around New York City,” said Commissioner Benepe. “Trees make neighborhoods more livable and increase property values, cool and clean the air, shelter and feed wildlife. The comforting shade of trees soothes the senses and returns us to nature, rounding out the rough edges of urban life.” For more information visit www.milliontreesnyc.org or call 311.
