My father, who is almost 80 and legally blind, volunteers as a visitor at several hospitals for the terminally ill. Seeing the sensitivity of you photos has given me a little more initiative to go along with him for a day to document what he does. But I admit, I have a little trepidation at this. I always feel that I might be intruding on, even violating, privacy. I've flipped through Ted Grant's book in Chapters (Sorry Ted, as much as I'd really like to buy it, I can't afford it right now!). I'm amazed at the seeming invisibility of the photographer in the photos, compared to the feeling I get sometimes when pointing the camera. I feel like those old-time amateur super 8 filmers with the giant flood-lights (and no, I'm not using flash). How do you put yourself in that invisible, non-intruding mode? Thanks for posting these...they're wonderful and inspiring on many levels. jm - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tina Manley" <images@InfoAve.Net> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Friday, March 12, 2004 5:11 PM Subject: [Leica] Helping Hands > LUG: > > Some new photos from a day at the Jefferson Street Day Center for > Adults.
