But he was a good 40 degrees (from her point of view) from where I was sitting. I didn't want to shift anything in the room including people because my main point was to get a photograph of her without making her feel that this was in any way a formal thing. She was very conscious of her unkempt appearance relative to how she was before her stroke and I wasn't at all sure that she would like to be photographed. My main concern, vastly over and above any concern about photography, as the feelings of my aunt. I do understand the point you are raising, however. And in fact I have used Karsh's cable release technique on occasions with a tripod-mounted Hasselblad. But in this case, I still like the eye contact.
