Berkeley breast-feeders beat lactating Aussies

Berkeley, the world champion of mass lactation, defended its crown Saturday against the upstart Australians in what has become something of a transpacific nursing grudge match.

On the count of, "One, two, three, latch!" nearly 700 moms suckled their babes in the Berkeley Community Theatre. Although the final head count was a bit shy of the 1,130 women who brought the title home to Berkeley last year, it still, to quote the master of ceremonies, "kicked some serious Aussie booby. "

At first blush, the international tit-for-tat may seem silly. But it's meaning is deeply serious.....


I didnt actually go and record the mass feeding, just the events outside in the park...

And yes, this is a subject near and dear to me. *cough*

Hey hey hey.. watch yer dirty mind. My mother breastfed me...

Actually, this was a way to get publicity for a serious issue.



































Worked with Helen Bae, who was covering the event pro bono for the organisers.

Great baby photographer...









Um.. of course I was chatting up the pretty girls.. Who said it had to be all work? :-)



















































































Lotta moms with tattoo's there.

Im thinking Im gonna explore taking female body art images...































Man, I owe my parents BIG time.
