RE: [Leica] Update on Ted and Sandy -

["Buzz Hausner" <buzz.hausner@verizon.net>]

Let me add my thoughts to B.D.'s.  Last evening we had a wonderful time
with Ted and Sandy, eating mediocre Chinese food, drinking fine       ,
and talking about a great many things other than photographic equipment.
Thank you, Ted and Sandy, for giving us an occasion to get together.

The prints...silver prints...that Ted and Sandy had from their earlier
"Women in Medicine" shoots are spectacular.  Their idea of working
prints is my idea of museum quality.  Regardless of the print quality,
the images were nothing short of astonishing.  My wife, Beth, was one of
their subjects during the Boston shoot and she woke up this morning
marveling at how Ted and Sandy captured in photographs what it actually
feels like to perform surgery and the depth of connection that doctors
have with their patients.

One final thought.  Sandy spent a lot of time with Beth, in the
operating suite and delivering babies.  When I asked Beth at the end of
one long, long day, "How did it go with Sandy?"  Beth replied, "I don't
know, most of the time I didn't even know she was there."  This is
perhaps the highest compliment we can pay to a photographer while doing
her work.

Subject: [Leica] Update on Ted and Sandy -

Buzz Hausner and I and our spouses had the pleasure of having dinner
last night with Ted and Sandy, who are winding up a multi-week swing
through the New York area and Boston on their Women In Medicine project.
They've shot at Long Island Jewish and North Shore University Hospitals,
on Long Island, and then spent this past week in Boston at Mt. Auburn,
Mass General and Brigham and Women's. They showed a pile of 16x20s of
their spectacular work from earlier shooting,and now head back to
Vancouver with something like 170 rolls of exposed Tri-X. If this new
stuff is anywhere near the quality of their earlier shooting - and it
has to be better now that Ted is shooting with 3! M7s :-) - they have a
real winner here.

Sandy is a real delight, and doesn't take any guff from Ted, which is
amusing to watch...

The dynamic duo will be back in Vancouver tonight, for some well earned
rest and perhaps a LUG post or two, and then disappear into the Xtol for
a while.

B. D.
