the corridor of the regional hospital. a mother's hands on a bag. i asked first. she said yes and then looked away.i went with my big sister's friend, the doctor. she's in her first year on the wards and she works nights. she let me sit in the corridor for two hours with the camera in my bag while she worked.
i took one photograph and put the camera away. some rooms don't want to be seen. they want you to sit.

I understand. Sometimes the best thing you can do for a photograph is not to take it.
You asked first. That is the whole of medical ethics, and you got it before most of my colleagues. Come again on a quiet night (there are none).
