I’m Here

Our baby girl was born yesterday. It was a c-section and I was allowed to bring my camera into the operating theatre but wasn’t allowed to move off the stool that I was sitting on beside my wife. Don’t get me wrong, the doctors and nurses were great and took my camera to take some up newborn baby close up shots but I won’t post those because while I own them I didn’t actually take them.

I did manage to get some shots of my own after she was born and this one from when they were cleaning and checking her stood out to me. It was as if she was putting her hand up to say “I’m Here”.

I didn’t take that many shots, the birth if your first child isn’t something you should watch through a viewfinder. The camera was with me but only came up to my eye when it wouldn’t interrupt real life.

Mom and baby are doing fine, Dad however is more of a wreck 😉

Snow Clearing

Another photo from the blizzard a few weeks ago. Snow is fun but the digging to clear driveways is not.

Blizzard

Newfoundland got hit hard over the last couple of days by a blizzard. The whole of Canada has been hit by arctic air and temperatures. To add to our problems the power went out to the whole island, it was already on rolling blackouts before the storm.

Before digging out my own driveway I went for a walk to see what others in the area were up to and grabbed a few shots, though taking my 60D out in snow storm is not a good idea so I didn’t stay out long.
