Description

This was my contribution to the boards.ie Photography Yearbook, a collaborative effort between the photographers of boards.ie to raise money for Santa Strike Force. This is a charity which does really good stuff for kids in hospitals at Christmas. 100% of the book profits are going straight to SSF. See santastrikeforce.com for more details and BUY THE BOOK!

Wow! what a photograph and not because it's a baby or Lucy even, it's the angle and colour and shadowss.

Was she born premature?

Cheers Janer,

I meant to fill in a bit more detail in the description. This photo was taken at four days old when she was in the Special Care Baby Unit in the Coombe.

It's pretty much the most emotionally charged photo I think I've ever taken and carries a huge weight of memories. Since you've seen my other albums, you know that she's a happy bouncing baby by now!

Thanks for your comments!

Fantastic photo... in every sense.

Incidentally, the colour's come out a bit flat, BUY THE BOOK and you'll get a much better reproduction along with 97 other brilliant images!

Amazing photo Dakar. In my top 5 from the book.

+1 what punkrock said. The colour and angle really make it a well taken shot. It's brilliant.

Glad to know baby Lucy is happy and healthy now :)

Thanks Jenny, I am slightly embarrassed by that, because there are so many great shots in the book .

Love the texture of the blanket/sheet which really brings you into Lucy's and all babies environments. Congrats on appearing in book. V. At how many months was Lucy born?

Thank you for your comments. As always, they're very considered.

She was a couple of weeks early, so not too premie, but had some problems. We carry a huge debt of gratitude to the wonderful staff in the Coombe.
