Reader Reviews
This is probably more classifiable as a fan letter or something rather than a review. The book is good. The story is engaging, the forward and the introduction give a history of the subject, which I as a layman, do not know much about. You want to READ them from start to finish, unlike some other books where they are auxiliary. Then the photos... This is what photojournalism is about. You are treated to an intimate look at scenes with these woman doctors. It is almost like it is movie set where the camera is right there, to show you the actions. Except that these are not rehearsed scenes or actresses, but real people in real hospitals. Make you wonder how they do it. They are like flies on the walls, with cameras on their necks. We know what Ted might say, "I just focus and shoot!" Sandy probably would say the same. I wish we all can focus and shoot like that. And the lights. What mastery! I had a chat with a 4x5 landscape shooter over the weekend, and we were talking about tonal forms, the zone system, Weston and his peppers and all that. This is not like that. Ted just focuses and shoots - and the shadows on the faces are just right, and the bright lights don't distract or scream burnt-out highlights. They are just part of the images. Wow! I have to say that the equipment fetish in me causes me to notice several shots with the creamy bokeh signature of the Noctilux. Of course I could be wrong in pegging them. No matter, lots to learn from books from this... Thank you Ted and Sandy.
