Using flash in the O.R. was never a consideration because it's like shooting in daylight "most of the time." But then there's times when a good Noctilux comes in handy for mood stuff. ;-) >I have had first hand reports on Ted and Sandy's work in the O.R. and the surgeons report > that you would never know they were present at all.<<<<< And as it should be whether in the O.R. or anywhere. Right from the first operating room assignment my fear was not to disturb the guy doing the fixing up, because if you did, your privilege of getting in the door would be revoked and you'd be in the hall right quickly. It's be quiet, be careful, stay alert to everything around you, whether it's the first time or 40 years later. One mistake and you will likely be in the hall faster than you can spit. And trust me with a surgical mask on you really don't want to spit! So be careful. ;-) ted Ted Grant Photography Limited DOCTORS' WORK. www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant Women in Medicine http://www.sandycarterphotography.com/WomenInMedicine.htm - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
