…”we’re waiting for the cameras before we can evac you…”
In 1994, my now ex-wife (who shall mercifully remain nameless) and I wandered into the waiting room of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) with a small, hand-held minDV camcorder and started to shoot.
We were there on kind of a weekend lark to see ‘what would happen’. Just hanging out. A few minutes after we got there, a young couple came in and took a seat next to us. I turned to the guy:
“What happened?” I asked.
“I was shot six times” he announced. “Wanna see”?
Why not? (more…)
