Fred and Pnina,

Thanks a lot for the interest both of you showed here and the really kind and compassionate comments.

I took this photo on a film camera, a Canon AE1 Program, while I was doing my MD residency in 1984. I developed the film in my bathroom which I used to do then and got out a print on my friend's enlarger.

This photo won a first prize then in 1984 at our local photo club competition!

Neonates develop jaundice because sometimes they cannot metabolize their own destructed RBCs. In such cases they have to be bombarded with harsh florescent light which destroys the accumulated bilrubin in their skins. The eye band is to protect their retinas from this harsh light. Most of them recover well.

Wonderful composition and angle. I would try it with a clear sky background though, without that tree.

Hi Larry, thanks for you interest and input. Yes, this is the 18th green just opposite the clubhouse. This was taken standing on the balcony of the same. I had an entire tour of the 17-Mile drive and was really a pleasant experience!
