I saw something about how proud he was that he shot a few dozen pictures as the kid was popping out and having the cord cut.
NOBODY on the PLANET needs a photo of their child's cord being cut. (The medical professionals can look at pictures of other people's kids!) I take lots of pictures of my son - but we waited until after the doctor cleaned him off for the first one! BLEAH. And who are you going to show such a photo too? If someone invites me over to look at childbirth pictures or video, I'm going to find somewhere else that I have to be that night...
Anyway, I definitely didn't need to see that picture. I'll look at someone else's DSLR comparison, thank you very much. I'm not interested in how well a given camera handles during childbirth.
Side note: My wife dragged me to the usual "new parent" childbirth classes before our boy was born. When the inevitable video of childbirth came up, I naturally looked anywhere BUT at the TV... and the expression on everyone's else face was much more entertaining, anyway! You've never seen such looks of horror as on the soon-to-be-parents... that part alone is almost worth the classes!
should i admit i had my eldest daughter's dried up umbilical cord "nub" in a ziplock baggie in her baby book till she threw it away...is that worse than a photo of it? maybe i should just not say anything......
