Moments after giving birth a mother laughs hysterically at her husband who just fainted at the sight of their newborn son, 1986

This photo was taken by Keith Beaty and won a National Newspaper Award in 1986. It was made in the course of the Star's "Day in The Life of Toronto" series. Beaty said: "I was assigned to cover the birth of a baby at Women's College Hospital. The father was in attendance, and everything went smoothly until he saw the baby and promptly fainted. At the time the photo was taken the father was out of sight (and unconscious) on the floor on the other side of the bed. I wanted to get a high angle which would show the father but there was nothing to climb up on except for carts of medical equipment. I decided to give up on the idea of including the father in the photo and concentrated on the mother and child, and returned to the office regretting that I had blown a chance to get an award-winning photo."
