Without Instruction in Art
“Photograph: a picture painted by the sun without instruction in art.”
- Ambrose Bierce
I plan on writing a formal post for Medscape about my experiences at the hospital during Hurricane Irene, so I won’t go into them here. I was, however, interviewed by a Medscape reporter about my experiences. You can check out the article here.
After work, I went for a doggy walk into the park, and was able to shoot a couple of photos of the hurricane aftermath.
As I was photographing a fallen tree, I heard someone should “hey, doc!” A man appeared from behind the tree, and said, “doc, I have a photo for you!” He then proceeded to climb a very tall tree stump and pose for me in the sunlight. I’m still not entirely sure how he knew I was a doctor. But the experience reminded me why I love Brooklyn, and love my neighborhood.
Please enjoy the photos with this post! The first one was taken on my walk to the hospital today. The rest were taken during my post-work walk with my dogs in the park.
