LAIDA HAD CONTACTED ME WHEN SHE WAS PREGNANT TO SEE IF I COULD TAKE SOME MATERNITY SHOTS FOR HER. I TOLD HER THERE WAS ALREADY ENOUGH VISUAL POLLUTION OUT THERE FOR ME TO ADD TO IT, BUT I WAS LOOKING FOR A VOLUNTEER TO ALLOW ME TO DOCUMENT THEM THROUGHOUT THE STAGES OF DELIVERY. SO LOW AND BEHOLD, AFTER A QUICK MEETING OVER COFFEE, AND AN EARLY MORNING FACEBOOK MESSAGE THAT WROTE ‘MY WATER BROKE’ I FOUND MYSELF IN A DELIVERY ROOM AT THE OTTAWA GENERAL HOSPITAL WITH TWO RELATIVE STRANGERS PHOTOGRAPHING WHAT WHAT WAS UNFOLDING IN FRONT OF US ALL. AND THAT WAS SWEET LITTLE LEAH’S BIRTHDAY PARTY. IT WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE. WITH AN AMAZING COUPLE, AND THOUGH THOSE SHOTS PROBABLY WON’T END UP ONLINE, WE HAD THE CHANCE TO CATCH UP AND SAY HELLO TO THE GIRL OF THE HOUR. SHE’S PRETTY SPECIAL IF YOU ASK ME. YUP. I LIKE HER.
