[Leica] Santa Rita 2016 on my Blog

[lluisripollphotography]

Hi Ted, my friend

I feel highly honored and appreciate very much your words about my simple work, I can only say thank you very much and honestly I did not expect so much. 

I admire your work and I learned a lot from you since I fell into my hands the DVD "The art of observation", everyone says that photograph is knowing look, but I see few ones do it well. The constant day after day work, seeking new detail to illustrate the story we want to tell, being honest and a good person someone can become a good photographer too, not in the other way around as often happens and we see on the front pages of newspapers, hideous pictures from photographers they are seeking to attract for its sensationalism and media power.

I have the book “Women's in Medicine”, is a book I have looked several times, books are made with honesty, humanity, with images that make great the protagonists of the real life and not the photographers who seek only their particular fame .

Thank you very much dear friend

Cheers
Lluis

> I had missed this posting of your fabulous photo essay. Sorry and it's so
> well shot with variations of images!
> This is an example of my assignments during my 60 year plus career, "Photo
> documentaries!" Often I was shooting the main subject for a week or several
> weeks day after day! And the odd time a full month sun rise to sunset &
> darkness! 
> Or the subject? fisherman, oilmen, farmers, doctors  and all  kinds of
> medical workers, steel mill workers were finished for the day. Then I could

> that day and prepared for the next! Notes made and or "sleep became so
> demanding" you had to close your eyes and do it! :-)
> Then surprise? The next morning it started all over again a new "operation?"
> Crash crisis, emergency situation started again, "BUT ME ALWAYS LOOKING FOR
> NEW STUFF!" It's called "OBSERVATION"that's when you find those little
> visual pieces of "Photo Gold" photos!
> There were very few "picture of the day?" type assignments. Many only

> When I produced my first published international medical book  "DOCTOR'S
> WORK. The Legacy of Sir William Osler" it was on and off over a period of 10
> years due to shooting when I had time between "paying assgnments!". 
> The 2nd. medical book Sandy Carter and I produced, "WOMEN IN MEDICINE. A

> Canada and the USA. We had a publisher ready to publish as soon as we were
> finished shooting.
> Many LUG members have copies of these books all shot with Leica cameras in

> copies? Coffee table size books.
> I have gone over and over your series enjoying a fine selection of images

> Well DONE!
