This newborn made quite a statement upon entering the world.
A baby boy was photographed in Australia with his still-attached umbilical cord arranged to spell out "love." (https://www.facebook.com/emmajeanphotographictales/photos/a.877796332327511.1073741831.877041535736324/901895843250893/?type=3&theater)
The cord remains joined to the placenta in the striking picture.
Photographer Emma Jean Nolan (https://www.facebook.com/emmajeanphotographictales/photos_stream), who's also a midwife, explained that as part of a Maori rite, the placenta and umbilical cord will be buried.
"To set up the shot I laid the baby down and settled him to sleep," she told The Huffington Post. "Then I arranged the cord by twisting and turning it. It was easy except for the 'e' which proved tricky!"
Powerful work.
