I know one of the hospital staff photographers, having met him while part of a College for Creative Studies collaborative painting project. The painting hangs in the Cardiology Department of Children's Hospital. He photographed all of the paintings that hang in the examining rooms and the artists who created them. This installation was completed in 2009.
I have spoken with him and Grace Sera, Art Advisor of Children's Hospital about Stephanie and I accompanying him as he photographs surgical procedures in the operating room. I am interested in this unique experience as I am an avid photographer having freelanced with the Detroit News from 2004 to present. And also having received a grant from National Geographic in 1998 to work with children using one-time-use panoramic cameras on the grounds of their orphanage ( St. Vincent and Sarah Fischer) located in Farmington Hills, Michigan. The site is now closed.
I will blog about this hospital photography experience at a future date as the details are still being worked out. Initially, I was not even aware that a hospital would have staff photographers in house. Makes sense tho when you consider malpractice lawsuit possibilities, etc.
