Tomorrow, on February 1st, I’m starting a 365 photo project, where I’ll post one photo yeach day for a year (photo credit).
I will strive to post mostly fresh photos, but I will also post some old ones I’ve dug out from the archives.
I’ve set up a separate blog for this project, at http://sterileeye365.wordpress.com. Be sure to subscribe to the RSS feed or subscribe by email at the site. I will also post the updates on Twitter.
Hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I’ll hopefully do!

A couple of years ago I decided to make my own remote rig for filming open surgery. For a lot of operations in the abdomen and deep in the pelvis, the commercially available equipment could not provide the access I wanted. Designed by me and built at the hospital’s own instrument shop, the rig provides an excellent view of the surgical field and less strain on the cameraman. Read more »

My sister’s father-in-law is a retired corporate photographer. The last time I met him he told me this crazy story about a guy he used to work with. This guy used to be a videographer, and when he recently was going to have a total hip replacement, he decided he was going to film the operation – himself (photo credit)! Read more »

The cupboards and shelves at the Photographic & Video Services, my new job, are filled with old photo equipment, collected throughout the department’s history. In this new post series I’m going to pull some of the more interesting items into the strobe light. The first item is the SEI Exposure Photometer, a truly remarkable vintage gadget. Read more »
One of the most fun and challenging parts of my new job is photographing infants. I used to only work with cancer, and few children, so shooting toddlers with less serious conditions is a very positive experience. Even though the kids themselves are not always that positive (photo credit). Read more »
