The Miracle of Birth

A member of my church family owns and operates a dairy farm. I've asked him if he would give me a call when a calf was about to be born so that I could photograph the process. Well, at about 6:15 PM on Sunday, 17-AUG-2008 he called and said that a birth was about to happen and would probably take place within the next 40 minutes. I grabbed my camera and loaded the lenses I thought I'd need into a bag and was off. The farm is about 5 minutes from my home. I photographed the entire process from birth through the baby's first steps and have posted the images in this gallery. Since I know that some people may not wish to view this process, I have placed all the images in a password protected sub gallery. If you would like to see them, the password is simply "birth".
