Hi Steve,
Whatever you do, don't stop shooting these people and their beautiful faces 
and moments. Also use the same camera and lens to maintain the quality and 
the enhancing light! It's the soft gentle light that fits with the condition 
of the patients. One need not have bright blasting sunlight as it would 
almost, if not, destroy the mood of the quiet moment recorded and 
expressions of these unfortunate people.  In Bud's case there's a kind of 
bonus aspect with his guitar not seen with many of the other folks.

It's the continues quality of image look and light! Just keep them coming a 
tough as it is.

But there's a side of you not yet addressed. And that is your life career of 
dealing with unfortunate children in distress for quite a number of years. 
And those experiences of coping with emotion and the possibilities of a 
child dying gave and give you the strength that many on the LUG wouldn't 
have to carry on with this project!

Anyway keep at my friend as you're doing a smashing great series. And a 
magnificent book in the end as a tribute to the many unfortunates with this 
affliction.
cheers,
ted
