Fragile Beginning
A tiny one begins a near impossible fight for life . I was given permission to build the camera in side to share an illuminated view of life and care giving in this documentary on premies. The lights gave warmth.

To me... you are the best documentary photographer there is....

Back for another look. Probably one of the best pictures I have ever seen. Only you could talk your way into sticking a camera inside an incubator.

I've looked at this picture many many times. It's beautiful, but for me it brings back a lot of memories. Good ones but also some that I didn't wanna think about anymore. My daughter was born with six months and it was a very difficult period in my life. So this has an impact on me.. I can't begin to tell how much.

But when i step aside of my feelings I see a great documentary shot, so very well done. It's great. So many compliments to you!

I hope the baby is doing well, and that it will grow up without many problems.

This brought back memories I did not want open again, but the photo probably has more feelings than any other on 1X and it definitely deserves a place imo. Well done, and i seriously hope everything goes well with the child.

Great photo Wings. I once delivered a baby about this size (25 weeks) in someones home, when I was a Paramedic. I was amazed how tiny he was and yet, still breathing and fighting for life. My colleague dealt with the mum and I had about half an hour with the baby, oxygenating him and keeping him warm until the crash maternity team arrived. It was an amazing experience, one that I'd almost forgotten until I saw your picture, so may thanks for reminding me. Regards Bob

It says the picture was taken a year ago. Did this kid turn out alright? They are sooo fragile when they are this tiny. It's also a really good photo!
