I have tons and tons of family photos....outnumber "serious" work by more than 10:1. But it is probably the most meaningful part of my photography...

By the way, like CapitalK above, I took pics when my wife was giving birth...all the time...in between hand holdings and words of encouragements, I was thinking about exposure and focussing!

Frank, I love this shot. It just cracks me up....

Ahh yes, the venerable 760 Pumpmaster

boy, i love these shots. i really like the shot of the shooters (get it?).

when i see the photos of the youngers kids, i now automatically think, "that is someone's grandchild." the gift of grandfatherhood is so special ...

Steve, nice picture of No. 2 son, here is my daughter (one of them), wife, sister-in-law, nephew, and best of all a friend. This is a Polaroid taken at my granddaughter's wedding ( the pictured daughter is not the mother), a ColorPackII, with Fuji 3000 B&W:

rickp, thank you

As mentioned, very good photos in this thread. "The shooter" and CLE-RF's are my favorites so far.

I am glad people are enjoying this thread.

There was a powerful image posted here of
the poster's brother, five days before he died
-- but I cannot find it now and I wish it were
still available as I found it moving.

Here are a couple of photographs of my mother,
that I shot a few weeks before she died this summer.
She was much amused because I had to stand on
her walker to get the shot and nearly broke my
neck in the process.

That must've taken some presence of mind
to shoot. I'm not sure whether my Melanie
would have been happy I got the shot or
annoyed that I had a camera up to my face
at that moment -- both, probably. :-D

I was at the hospital waiting for my 2nd daughter's birth, when the doctors decided the delivery would be by emergency Cesarean section. As I sweated in the hallway outside the operating room, I had nothing to do but pray, and check and recheck my camera. Finally, the OR doors flew open and 4 nurses ran out, pushing a cart with my daughter in a plexiglass enclosure. One nurse was riding straddled on the the cart, working a respiration bag, as the baby was not breathing on her own. They paused for an instant in from of me to let the father get a glimpse of his daughter. By reflex, I raised my camera halfway, and then considered whether this first picture of my daughter might also be the last. And I lowered the camera without taking the shot. She survived and is flourishing - and I still don't know if I made the right decision.

Presence of mind can be a blessing and a burden at once.
