Nicole,
I've heard this elsewhere. Now I'm ambivalent about seeing it. Having
shot a ton of surgery, it's easier for me to look at birth or open heart
surgery than something I identify with like a simple vasectomy.
I'm working on a project with some birth footage right now and it IS
messy though indubitably miraculous.
Cordially,
Dv
