I spent all day yesterday until 6 am this morning photographing a beautiful miracle. Not only did I want to give you a preview of my last 24 hours but I also posted this photo because one of my good friends (who is also an incredibly talented photographer) started up a myView photo project for the new year (anyone is invited to participate, whether for yourself or if you want to share with the rest of us!). This week’s myView topic was ‘Adventure,’ and I thought that this picture totally embodied the concept of adventure. First of all, birth is an adventure. It is painful, it’s uncertain, it’s long and probably the hardest thing you will ever endure – but the light at the end of the tunnel is so bright and so worth it. And besides the obvious fact that birth is itself an adventure, I love this photo of R cradling his wife after she had been laboring for almost 20 hours because they themselves have already been through quite an adventure to get to this point. And finally, I think that me having a birth in the first week of the new year is truly one of the best ways I could think of to begin my adventure of 2011 🙂
… now, off to catch up on my sleep.
