The Launch Position

Lennart Neilson loved his electron microscope. He also loved photography and nature. He was an explorer, a pioneer. He was the first to give us a glimpse into the womb and see, simply, how we develop over those 9 months. We were in awe. The pictures were in Life Magazine. But then, he published the pictures in a book, called, 'Behold, Man.' I was taken by the sheer beauty of the pictures and my far off desire to have children. When I first drew this picture, and showed it to people, I would always turn it around, like the top picture. But, after I had my son, I learned that I need not have changed anything, because I drew it in the 'launch position.' That was an expression my OBGYN used, when it was about time to deliver my bundle of joy, head first. Hence, the launch position!
