Welcoming a new member of the family with a rangefinder

My brother's son was born not too long ago! I decided to document the momentous event with my favorite camera!

Here are some pics. Hope you like em!

This is Lorenzo Inigo

He was born on June 28, at 8am, 6lbs and 10 ozs, 48cm

Here's how I managed to get close up since I couldn't get close enough with a 35mm lens LOL

And a shot of the welcoming committee lead by my 15month old son

Rooming in with the baby for the first time

A closer look at the little one

A tender moment with mom

Residents making their rounds on their patients

Listening to the little drum beat

Aroused by the hustle and bustle

Prepping up for the meet and greet

 

[brownbagboy]

Taking a break form the fan fare

And now back in mom and dad's embrace

A little yawn before sleep

Dozing off as they chatter away

Adding a little bit of sunshine into our family's lives

Welcome to the world little one!

Thanks Ahmad! I used a Leica M9 which I scored from the legendary Ed (Newghost) + a Summilux 35mm lens

Thanks guys!!

CJ, I have to give credit to the Leica for that. Of all the cameras I've ever used, I've never seen any other system transcribe light and mid tones better than the Leica (though I haven't tried the other big name brands there like the Hasselblads etc)
