Doctors And Photography

As many of you know, I'm a family doctor. Some of you have written to me indicating that you to are serious photographers who happen to be doctors. Actually there is a good tradition of doctors in the arts. Elliot Porter was a physician. Howard Schatz was an opthalmologist (eye specialist) before becoming a prominent New York studio photographer with Time and Sports Illustrated covers to his name as well as a number of books published. Howard Grill is a cardiologist who contacted my blog and has himself an interesting photography blog at .

Another physician who has contacted me is George Jerkovich, a psychiatrist who continues to work on his website but he has a large number of very interesting panoramic small town images at a gallery site, Strecker-Nelson Gallery.

His painterly panoramic images are a fascinating look at small town America and I'd strongly suggest a good look.

George,

Last fall in Kelowna BC here there was an exhibit of art that was created by doctors, it included paintings, photography , sculptures I though it was very impressive work.
