My New Son!

[Johann Espiritu]

Elian, my third child.

Too keep it RFF relevant, this was taken with a Leica M7 + Summicron 35mm ASPH. Film was Fuji Neopan 1600, souped in D-76.

If the gesture of the hand in the foreground of the second photo is any indication, looks like it was an "analog" birth.

Congratulations to you and your wife.

Congratulations, and yes, those are wonderful photographs. The second one reminds me of the shock I was in when I learned just how durable those little guys are. I was invited by the nurses to watch my son's first exam and bath. My goodness, those nurses, as wonderful as they are, they were not afraid to just grab the little guy and twist him around. I thought for sure they would break him, but after seeing that I felt a lot better about my own clumsiness.

Congratulations! Looks like he has good lungs for sure. That is a wide open mouth for letting everyone know he is here.

 

[Thardy]

Make sure you keep taking pictures of him as he ages. He being the third and all.
