>I imagine some of you have no idea what you gave me at 4.30 a.m.! Starting
>my day  reading your comments first thing! My goodness before the sun has
>come up, you've made my day! :)  I can't thank you enough.

>What you have given me in your assesments of "my work" is more than all the

>Please let me explain:
>
>The book has always received postive feed back from the medical profession,
>how it captures their daily lives, the pressures, the emotion and
>exhaustion.
>
>As one physician remarked, "In my 40 years as a physician, no one has ever
>captured what we do like you have, it makes me proud I am a physcian!"
>
>Another: "We are under such government and insurance pressure these days
>to,"fix the patient" and get them back on the street at the least cost!
>Many of us are under constant attack to cut costs, sometimes pressured to
>the detrement of the patient."
>
>Another:
>"What your book has done gives me faith in what I do is still an honourable
>profession, dedicated to the human beings entrusted to my care.."
>
>"When the day is done and I'm beat from bureaucratic frustrations of trying
>to care for my patients, I come home, pour myself a relaxing drink, turn
>the pages and let your pictures take me back to when we could truly do "our
>work" without the constant whine of costs!"
>
>These are but a few of the many from the medical profession as it's
>illustrated in he book.
>
>But the comments so far from LUG members as they receive their copies, is a
>completely different assestment:  "It's about my work as a photograher!"
>
>Now we are talking about "our profession or hobby, yours and mine, not the
>medical side."
>
>In the past the few photographers who purchased, it was seen as a "medical
>book" and not a photographic book one might learn from. Now what is
>happening from LUGGER's is the photographic recognition of my ability as a
>photojournalist.
>
>So these past few days have had very emotional moments for me, as I read
>the accolades from my peers.  They are my vindication to years of
>dedication to my craft, weren't invain!
>
>The heart break and pain of the publisher running off with $40,000 dollars
>of my royalties is eased by, you my peers, and your assesment of "This is
>Our Work. The Legacy of Sir William Osler."
>
>And if it weren't for the Leica tools, M & R,  the unique lenses that
>allowed me to constantly shoot without "twinky light disturbance!" I know I
>wouldn't have had the success in capturinng "real life as you see it!" and
>what I was motivated by is what went on film!
>
>It doesn't matter whether one is starting out or doing it a long time, we
>all need that little "pat on the back" once in a while. It's good for the
>heart and soul when your life is dedicated to capturing images on film!
>
>Thanks folks for bearing with me and the wonderful caring comments offered!
>This LUG is truly one of a kind and the people in it are truly something
>else!
