The most powerful pictures of clinical practice come from the real world. But the art of medicine is not soley about the hands-on compassion of the clinic. It is also about ideas and invention and dreams of the future. Sometimes the most effective way to communicate a concept or vision is through the controlled environment of the studio, where the unnecessary can be cut away, leaving light and color and detail to express the idea without distraction.

Modern medicine depends on advanced technology as much as on human compassion. And every machine, every process, every device and every tool has a graphic beauty all its own – if properly seen and properly xpressed. But always it is important to maintain the connection to the human senses and intelligence that create and use the tools,for without those, the tools themselves are nothing.
