Your comment reminds me of a time that I'd long forgotten, when
I was shooting pictures of newborn babies.  The company I worked
for gave me a cheap camera and supplied the film, and I'd make
the rounds of a couple of hospitals in the area, shooting the
new babies in their little beds.  Just the babies, no mothers,
which would have been more interesting.  I'd then go home,
process the film, and make prints, which I'd take to the
hospital the next day.  Gawd!  That was awful.  I lasted a week.
