hands 2, made yesterday, I think illustrates what you have often said about 
seeing, wow, in your gut, click....no delay and in a situation where it was 
totally unexpected, caught me by surprise,  a group of Alzheimer afflicted 
people, involved two people who barely knew each other. My camera leapt to 
my eye and clicked so fast, that at first it hesitated, I was sure I was 
going to lose the shot.


thanks Ted for inspiring all of us,
