Scenes from a Dr. Office

Sue went in for her colonoscopy today. Everything was okay.. so no worries.

I took the day off to make sure that she got home okay etc.

The scene in one of these offices is pretty wierd. Everyone needs a driver afterwards. So the driver interested party that supports generally waits for the procedure to be completed in a waiting room. It takes at least an hour and a half to get the procedure done so there are also timing.. waiting your turn. Getting the anesthesia, getting out of the anesthesia.. so in at 9:30 out at 12:00 noon. In the mean time, luckily I had my ipod along to keep me company and I caught up on the latest This American Life and The book review podcast on NPR. Pretty nice to be able to do that. My Ipod is a video one so that I could also enterain myself with a TV show or a movie on the the little screen.

What was interesting was the scene that unfolded in front of me. A couple used the wait time to take a little nap. I made sure that my flash was off and I pretended to fumble around with my camera. I got an American gothic type photo of them snoozing along waiting for their turn. There was also a lady that was intent on reading her magazine. So the grouping worked. The problem is how to protray them so that the audience gets the point.. sleeping at the Dr. Office.. without really revealing the couple's identity.

Photoshop filters come in to place. Kelly would be happy to know that the "stamp" filter seemed to fit my needs. Check out the scene in the Flickr gallery at the left hand side of this blog.
