I threw together this rough and dirty web page today. I selected six 
images I took in January when I had an opportunity to visit two good 
friends who just became proud parents.

This is no ordinary child, however - she was born over 14 weeks 
prematurely. Despite her tiny size and some pretty formidable odds 
against her, she struggled for life for the next three months until she 
was healthly enough to be allowed home. The strength that child mustered 
up, and the strength of her parents (one of whom was near death when she 
was delivered by emergency cesarean) is simply remarkable.

I shot these in the "preme" section of the materinty ward during bath 
and feeding time - pretty dim light - and opted not to use a flash. Film 
used was T-Max P3200 pushed to 6400, developed in XTOL 1:1. All were 
around 1/30 at f2 - I metered once and guestimated as necessary.

On the digital side, I used a Minolta Dimage 2820 dpi Scanner with VueScan.

Thanks for looking - comments, suggestions welcome.
