  • Dancers from the National Ballet of China rehearse at the their studio in Beijing, China, Friday, Aug. 21, 2009.  For Chinese, ballet is tangled up with China's blood-soaked revolutionary past, arriving here in the 1950s on a wave of pro-Soviet fervor and quickly repurposed as a propaganda weapon during the Cultural Revolution.

  • Chinese youth dig in to their books during a lesson at a school in the model village of Nan Jie Cun, China, Wednesday, Aug. 26, 2009.  Nan Jie Cun village in central China's Henan province advertises itself as a commune which continues to adhere to the communist teachings of Mao Zedong, who founded the People's Republic 60 years ago. The village's industries are collectively owned. Workers receive bonds, instead of currency, and housing and healthcare are free. They sing revolutionary songs and march to work in lines. Despite being out of step with the rest of today's China, the village's industries are a success, and more than 7,000 migrants have requested to work at Nan Jie Cun.

  • Joe lifts his arms towards daddy before jumping in to the pool at his swimming lesson in Aylesbury, England  Saturday, Feb. 28, 2015  It was in Kenya, on an assignment photographing Masaai mothers and children, where I was reminded of the power of the familiar and the mundane. Amid the rugged landscapes and the cattle-herding families whose lives still revolve around ancient rhythms, I began to wonder about my own attitudes. Why did I think mothers in this different and exotic environment were worthy of being documented? Why did I think motherhood in my own world lacked that luster? Why is the remote more valuable to a photographer than the world right around them?  And I realized I had turned a blind eye to the profound, complex story right next to me: in the school runs, the trips to the store, the swimming lessons and the countless birthday parties and field trips. <br />
It is the world I navigate every day with my two young sons. This project has let me see photographs where before I thought there were none. It has allowed me to see the universality of my life and how it is reflected in so many other lives. (Elizabeth Dalziel) #thesecretlifeofmothers #bringinguptheboys #dailylife

  • On our school we came across  the paperboy's bike lying on the floor after being hit by a car in Berkhamsted, England Monday, March 2, 2015  Photography and motherhood both offer lessons in loss. As a photographer, there is the loss of so many moments that you fail to capture. As a mother, there is the loss of personal space, of modesty, of identity.This project has let me see photographs where before I thought there were none. It has allowed me to see the universality of my life and how it is reflected in so many other lives.(Elizabeth Dalziel) #thesecretlifeofmothers #bringinguptheboys #dailylife
