A Week in the Hospital

Radiologist, Emory Medical Center, Atlanta

Not long after acquiring my first digital camera, a Canon 10D, I was given a week-long assignment to photograph medical personnel at Emory Medical Center in Atlanta. The purpose of the photos was to create a series of advertisements for the purpose of recruiting new employees for the hospital.

I photographed doctors, nurses, technicians, EMTs, and other medical and non-medical people in various settings. The outcome was a series of ads which ran half-page size in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and other places.

Lighting the radiologist and his screens was a minor problem -- I had to get sufficient light on the man without washing out the screens. It was accomplishing by combining a time exposure for the screens with a quick burst of electronic flash for the doctor. Just one of the many challenges that make commercial photography endlessly interesting to me.

My book, Backroads and Byways of Georgia, is now out of print, although copies are apparently still available from Amazon, and possibly other sources. The second edition is now in the editing stage and is scheduled to be released in December.
