hey mark,

that baby's gonna be around for a long time. there have since and will
continue to be photo ops of the tot, so i go with whatever cameras got my
bells a-jingling at the moment. i know, i know, some perceptive folk will
say: 'oh yeah, but the baby'll never be that small again.' i got that angle
figured out as well: i'll just shoot from progressively further away as he
gets bigger, that way the tike stays small on the film and, as we all know,
the camera doesn't lie!
