Small town hospital

[MichaelHarris]

in Washington state that recently received an outstanding number one patient care award and has invited President Obama for a visit asked me to take the pictures for their new recruitment brochure. I've done around 250 so far but here are 33 of the ones I like so far. Thoughts. ideas?

1. Beautiful pictures!

Your artistry is plain to see...

And the hospital looks really good. I used to be a critical care RN, and I recognize good layout when I see it. This place has it.

Very clean, very sleek, really lovely.

I esp. like the way they've made an effort to bring in the outdoors...

Thank you for sharing these!

2. thank you

I mostly do landscape and sports photography. This was my first architectural gig. In one of the photos, the ICU I tried to show movement and and compassion. All of the people are blurred except the Dr and patient. They are really working hard for an Obama visit.

5. did Whitman Co go for Obama?

my MiL told me she wrote in "none of the above" for president :wow:

[MichaelHarris]

6. Heck yeah!

Whitman went Dem for the first time in a long time. It was amazing seeing all the Obama signs on all the wheat farms. Latah county next door in Idaho went Obama also.

President:
Barack Obama 5,208 51.20%
John McCain 4,778 46.97%

3. They're beautiful.

Picture #2 is my favorite night shot.

Also, I love the ones with the clouds, like #16.

[MichaelHarris]

4. Thank you

most of the time when I submit shots I don't get a lot of feedback. I debated soliciting feedback here but I know everyone is pretty honest. I can shoot a football game but interiors with mixed lighting gets sort of funky.

7. You're very talented.

I've seen several of your police "action shots" flabbergasted that they were never published.

8. It's our local paper

They recently hired a very conservative editor. The community is sort of up in arms about it. The majority of the front page is "feel good" stories. I actually get more interest in my photos now from the Spokane TV stations and sometimes the newspaper in Lewiston, Id.

9. Well, it's good to know the community is on to the editor's bias. n/t

you may need a better picture of the rehab room,maybe a different angle on the reception area,and the patients room is lacking something. is there a doctors private area? that`s the only thing i can think of that might need better pictures.

i`ve subscribed to healthcare design magazine for 3 years and i`ve looked at a lot of hospital pictures! in my opinion you are on the right track it`s the ones that i mentioned may need some improvement.

11. Thank you very much

I will need to look for that magazine. I'm going to re-shoot the emergency room, the lighting was off and I'll use my strobes. The rehab room is very, very narrow with one end of the room covered with a large mirror. That mirror really takes away a lot of angles. I may try a fisheye lens and a ladder for better coverage.
