    First time daddy, at age 49!

    I used to post on Photography Review a lot. Now only rarely. I've been, uh, preoccupied the last nine months with impending fatherhood! Wooo Hooo! Boy am I excited! On January 4th, my little personal miracle came into this world. Sophia-Phaedre is here!

    Photos taken with 10D and 28-70 2.8L, no flash, ISO 800.

    Re: First time daddy, at age 49!

    Steve this is wonderful news. I am so happy for you. In the last four months I have become a grandfather twice and I have another due in April. In twenty or so years you can now look forward to being a grand father too. Until that time spend as much time as you can with that beautiful little girl. Congratulations and don't be such a stranger. PR misses your frequent post and your documentation of the Louisville scene.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    From one "older" father to another (I was 40 when my son was born) Congratulations!

    Both photos are great and are memories you'll always treasure.

    Re: First time daddy, at age 49!

    Thanks, everyone! I have been the step-father to four in my life, and my oldest step-daughter turns 21 in April. This is my first child, though. It's very exciting! I actually feel, well, younger.

    Here is my favorite of the shots I took when my daughter was one day old. The 28-70 2.8L is a great lens for shots like this.

    Congratulations, Steve. I've just recently returned to PR and saw that you weren't around. Nice photos, two of thousands, I'm sure. :-)

    Hi Steve,

    Congratulations on the new entry into your family. Very exciting!!! I'm sure your new "muse" will help you make up for lost time with the camera.

    I am a couple of months behind you in bringing my daughter to this world so I can understand your excitement.
