Fed-2A first RF to shoot my Son

[kb244]

My son Clark Matthew (see some more photos here: http://www.thebokeh.com/bb/index.php?topic=219) was born on wensday after an emergency cesarean section operation, course I was limited in what camera I could take in there with me but the choice was not too hard (my Canon P was broken so couldn't use that) , my digital and my Fed-2A w/ CV 21/4 These are some of the shots off the Fed with a roll of Tri-X that day.

I've yet to develop any of the color rolls or other B&W film that I shot over the past two days kinda limited in the 'accomindations' to get my chemistry to. 😀 I'm still at the hospital right now as they have not discharged my wife yet. Though Clark is expected to remain here in the hospital for the next two months.

concentration on taking photos probably kept you from fainting!!!
congrats to you both, especially the mum, the dads part in this probably took a lot less time😉

I dunno why people keep saying that, I had no problems taking pictures, or concentrating, or fainting, or being weirded out, handled the whole thing rather well, even photographed them stapling my wife's incision back up. lol. Course my wife would say I tend to 'internalize' everything.

Fantastic,Many congrats to you all.
I was only present for the last of my children's birth.
Luckily it was a natural birth and I too did not faint,but significantly the nursing staff offered me a cup of tea before they gave one to my wife😱
