Leaning in or Leaning out? Further discussion.
Thanks to all who shared their thoughts about the last two posts. I posted the two leaning tree images, as they generated an interesting discussion in the field while making them. When Dan (tour partner) showed me the first image (below) with what some of you see as a tree leaning out, I too had the same reaction. It felt like the tree was leaning out of the frame. He responded by saying "I see it as an element that is directing the eye into the frame." Commenter Rad, has done a good job of articulating what Dan and then I ultimately saw, thus prompting me to make the capture. "The leaning out image for me has a circular, repeating motion to it. I find my eye following the leaning tree into the frame at the bottom, across to the yellow trees on the right, and then up and to the left to do it all over again. The vertical lines are less figural and play a supporting role to the lead characters of the leaning tree and the two yellow trees on the right." So, at this point, I would argue that the leaning tree in the first image is actually leading the eye into and not out of the frame.
Now, lets look at the other image. This one, most agree, has the tree leaning into the frame. Again Rad does an excellent job breaking down what my eye is doing. "The one leaning in takes me in a clean, horizontal but staccato ride from left to right. It's about the horizontal line of color contrasted with the staccato rythym of the vertical lines of the trees. I can almost hear it as a cymbal crash, followed by a drum beat with a thread of yellow "melody" holding it all together. For me it flows in one direction – left to right- and exits at the right." Man, I love the drum and cymbal analogy! Thanks Rad.
I think it instructive to reiterate what commenter Frank said as it is why I added the leaning tree to each composition. "This is a great example of a comp(composition) based on a pattern and a break in pattern, with all the verticals except for one. " Frank is correct about adding an element to break a pattern. Pattern images are fine, however, when we add an element that breaks the pattern, we add visual interest. This element may direct the eye in a very clear way. Other times it may simply break the pattern giving the eye a place to go and then bounce back to the pattern. I've cloned out the leaning tree in the image below to illustrate. I think the leaning tree makes for a more interesting and impactful image.
As evidenced by the varied comments, there appears to be no right or wrong image. We each see or read images differently. Ultimately, you need to decide what works best for you. And fight for your vision by the way. Just because someone does not agree, this does not make them right and you wrong.
Lastly, I believe discussions like this are important. Not enough people carefully assess their (or others) images. Doing so allows you to make a more thoughtful decision about your composition in the field.
Which image do I prefer? The second one.
Beware of expectations
My tour partner Dan Sniffin learned a valuable lesson over the course of our last two tours together. His story is worth sharing as it illustrates a point I make in my presentation, "Discovery & The Creative Choice." And that is to beware of expectations. Up until the Smoky Tour this spring, Dan has typically arrived with expectations. He might say something like, I want to find a lone tree in fog or I am looking for such and such situation. Then during the tour and even the pre-tour, he would be focused on finding such. This time, as Dan arrived in the Smokies he said to me, "John, I have no expectations on this tour. I just want to relax and whatever happens, happens." And guess what? Dan produced what I believe to be some of his finest work. And, he produced more "keepers" than on any other tour we've done together. Next, he arrived in the Palouse a few weeks ago and said, "John, I've shot in the Palouse 10 times, I'm not sure I'll be doing much shooting. I'm going to relax but if I see something, I'll get a camera out. If not, thats fine too." Guess what? Yup, once again Dan produced stellar images and more of them than any other trip to the Palouse.
What is the point? By removing expectations and by being open to what was being given to Dan, he was actually able to see more! I would suggest that you don't try and force images to fit an expectation you have. Rather, just be still and let the images come to you! Beware of those pesky expectations. You know, the expectation to come home from this trip with 10 "keepers." Or, I saw these killer images of Iceland on 500px. Now I have to go to Iceland to make similar images. These kind of expectations can be dangerous and can potentially influence your "seeing" in a negative way as you'll be under pressure to succeed against false or unattainable expectations. As evidenced by Dan's success, it is much better to relax and be open to whatever right answer presents itself.
Todays image is from the Palouse. We had been out chasing late light and a storm. We finally stopped on a road where there is a wonderful red barn scene. We waited and waited for the light to come through the thick clouds behind us to light up the barn. Then it came, lasting for less than a minute. The problem for me, was the red barn didn't have enough clouds above it when the light came. So, I searched for another right answer and found this! I love the streak of gold light and the tremendous clouds. So glad I followed my own advice for once and did not stay focused on the expectation we had of shooting the red barn in last light.
If you're not following Chuck Kimmerle on his blog you should. His latest post about light is excellent. www.chuckkimmerle.com/blog/
What Matters Most
What matters most to you? For me it is certainly not photography. What? What did John just say? Let me put it this way. I was recently made aware of a friends newly revealed battle with cancer. Roxanne has a great attitude, however, the doctors are demanding she take off at least six months from work to diagnose and treat her cancer. As such, she and her husband Doug will face some stiff financial challenges. With this in mind, they have set up a Giveforward Hope for Roxanne website where YOU can help support them during this challenging time. I have faith that my friends who frequent this blog will stop and realize what is important. I love to share my photographs with you. I love the lively discussions we have about photography. But, today I'm asking you to consider what matters most and give what you can to Roxanne. Thank you!

The blog image is from the Palouse where my tour partner Dan and I will be leading two back to back tours starting in just over a week! I can't wait as the Palouse is one of our favorite locations in the United States.
The rest of the story….
A high school friend reminded me of an image that was on my old site but not part of this one. It is a personal favorite and one my Mother has hanging in her house. I used it as part of a blog post back in November, but today I wanted to share the rest of the story as Paul Harvey would say.
The image was made in South Africa in 2004. I was there with mentor Nancy Rotenberg and friends Dee Whittlesey and Ferrell McCollough attending a Freeman Patterson workshop. Freeman has been a major influence from the beginning of my photography journey. It was Freeman who inspired me with his creative techniques such as multiple exposures and slide sandwiches. Both techniques were used to create this image. All this is well and good, but the more important thing is the impact an image can have. This image is meaningful to me because each time I look at it, I am transported back to this magical moment and reminded of the important life lesson learned. I was there during a time when my business was not doing well. I didn't feel I should go because I could not afford it, but my loving wife demanded I go. It was a "trip of a lifetime" she said, and "I needed to be there to learn from Freeman." I was excited to photograph the flowers in the fields, the "secret waterfall" and other iconic scenes I had seen in Freeman's books. And then Freeman said, we would spend a day in Nourivier, a small town of 300 people and 90 homes. I was disappointed, I had no interest in photographing people in a small desert town, but reluctantly I went. And then, after spending about an hour with the people, especially the youth, (who giggled at how tall I was) I found myself in tears, sobbing actually. Nancy asked if I was okay? I said I think so, but I'm not sure what is going on. Then on our "free day" later in the week, I had to go back! Yes, at first I didn't want to go at all, but now I had to go back to understand that was going on. On the return trip, I realized what it was. I was there in this poor town surrounded by people who had nothing. No electricity, no running water, no shoes, tattered clothing, etc,. And here I was with $20,000 of gear on my back. I was feeling selfish for even thinking I had it bad because my business was floundering. I had a very nice roof over my head, nice clothes and plenty of food. I had all I needed, but was feeling anxious, stressed, worried, etc. Yet these people wore big smiles and were happy with what they had. Indeed, I realized I was needy and selfish and ashamed for being so, thus the tears. I was not sad for them, I was sad for m. It is this lesson I am reminded of, each time I see this image.
The woman is from Nourivier dancing at sunset on the rocks surrounding her town. I montaged (put two pieces of film in together in one slide mount) this image with a multiple exposure I made in the fields of flowers making a slide sandwich. This image sums up the essence of my journey to South Africa where I was able to learn from my hero AND from the wonderful people of Nouriver.
I find it interesting that this image resonates with so many other people. Once again this confirms that when we get in touch with our feelings and attach them to our work, we will create images that make our hearts sing!
And for my high school friend Suzanne, the image is now part of the "Others" folio on this site!
Mount Whitney – Finding another right answer
As Stephen said in his comment to my last post, you can't plan on great conditions when you're on a schedule leading a photo tour. You're at the mercy of what is given you. As I see it, that is not necessarily a bad thing. Let me share a story. I was leading a workshop, a short weekend type. It was during the fall and the colors that year were stunning! We had not spent more than 3 hours together when a participant came to me and said they were going home. I asked why, was it something I had done? She replied, "no, its just I'm not finding what I came for." Perplexed, I suggested, maybe you will find something better! But you see, she had an assignment for the photo club and was focused on that. The conditions and the area I picked that morning might not have been good for what she was looking for but they were great for many other things. She was simply not open to finding another right answer. I found that to be sad.
Fast forward to the Alabama Hills. We arrived late in the day during the scouting portion of our last tour. When I go to the Alabama Hills, I'm thinking about the rock formations and hoping for great clouds. When we arrived, there were no clouds. No problem, I turned around and saw this great situation brewing around Mount Whitney. Another right answer! I could have said, "I'm not finding what I came for" but instead I found something else! Its all about attitude. If you don't think you'll find something, you probably won't.
More on Photo Celibacy
Recently I featured a terrific post written by my tour partner Dan Sniffin about his ideas with regard to photo celibacy which Cole Thompson tries to live by. Dan's article was written before we spent the week with Cole and the group. The tour started with a wonderful lecture by Cole titled "Why B&W." In it he spoke not only about B&W but also more about his ideas on photo celibacy. But what happened after the talk was quite powerful. I asked the group to respond to Cole's ideas specifically about celibacy. What did they think? It was one of the most stimulating discussions I've been part of. Some agreed, others challenged Cole with good honest questions. Some spoke about the need for a basic understanding of technique. We spoke about technique versus vision. We spoke about the value of others opinions. We spoke about rules and guidelines and much more. It was a stimulating hour of discussion! I'm not sure we resolved anything but we carried the spirit of the discussion with us throughout the week. In fact, I am still pondering on the matter and would like to continue the discussion here.
I am reading a book suggested by Chuck Kimmerle titled "Why People Photograph" by Robert Adams. These quotes resonated in lieu of our discussion.
"I really didn't have much to teach. I didn't even believe in it. I felt so strongly that everybody had to find their own way. And nobody can teach you your own way…. in terms of art, the only real answer that I know of is to do it. If you don't' do it you don't know what might happen" Harry Callahan,1991
"Can photography be taught? If this mean the history and techniques of the medium, I think it can….. If, however, teaching photography means bringing students to find their own individual photographic visions, I think it is impossible. We would be pretending to offer the students, in Wililam Stafford's phrase, "a wilderness with a map." We can give beginners directions about how to use a compass, we can tell them stories about our exploration of different but possibly analogous geographies, and we can bless them with our caring, but we cannot know the unknown and thus make sure a path to real discovery." Robert Adams
"Even now I don't like to discuss work that isn't finished, because until it is revised over the span of a year or several years there are crucial parts that are present only in my minds eye, pieces intended but not yet realized…… "Art is made by the alone for the alone."" Robert Adams with inserted quote by Luis Barragan.
"I knew I didn't want to study at length contemporaries' pictures, fearing that their work might come close to mine and blur my vision." Robert Adams
What do you think? Are vision and technique connected? Can you achieve your vision without some guidelines about good composition? Can vision be taught? Does looking at others work influence yours?
With regard to the blog image from the Alabama Hills. Yes, the recent tour was focused on B&W and my folder of images is 99% B&W, however, that did not stop me from processing this one in color! Why color versus B&W? I wish I had a good answer, sometimes color just makes more sense and I run with my gut feeling. In the dunes, I can't imagine anything but B&W yet I've seen some wonderful images that are color. So color or B&W becomes a creative choice, there is no right or wrong.
The other day Tony Sweet emailed a picture of his Mom. He made the image with his iPhone while taking his iMom to the eye doctor or iDoc as he calls her.
Tony made a blog post about his thoughts on his image here.
These are my thoughts. Great photography creates an emotional response. This is a classic photograph that underscores the idea that it is not about the camera but rather about connection. Connection to subject, be it a person or a sand dune for that matter. This image is full of connection. Full of joy, silliness and fun. And that is clearly felt by the photographer and now by me, the viewer. Thus, Tony has created a very successful image, no matter the camera, because of the connection. I love this picture and can't stop looking at it. Tony emailed me this morning and simply said, "I'm still giggling". Me too!
To further cement my thoughts. Our special guest instructor for the Eastern Sierra tour last week was the amazing Cole Thompson. One of his most successful images is "The Angel Gabriel" Cole has given me permission to use it and his words below. Yes, the image is special but read the story and tell me that connection was not part of its success.
The Angel Gabriel – Newport Beach, CA – 2006
- This is the Angel Gabriel. I met him on the Newport Beach pier as he was eating French Fries out of a trash can.
- He was homeless and hungry. I asked him if he would help me with a photograph and in return, I would buy him lunch.
- The pier was very crowded and I wanted to take a 30 second exposure so that everyone would disappear except Gabriel.
- We tried a few shots and then Gabriel wanted to hold his bible. The image worked and the only
- people you can see besides Gabriel are those "ghosts" who lingered long enough for the camera.
- Gabriel and I then went into a restaurant to share a meal; he ordered steak with mushrooms and onions. When it came,
- he ate it with his hands. I discovered he was Romanian and so am I, so we talked about Romania. He was simple,
- kind and a pleasure to talk with. I asked Gabriel how I might contact him, in case I sold some of the photographs and
- wanted to share the money with him. He said I should give the money to someone who could really use it; that he had
- everything that he needed.
- Then the Angel Gabriel walked away, content and carrying his only two possessions: a Bible and a bed roll.
Now, with the idea of connection clearly in mind, pay attention to how you feel and respond to the images below.
This is a favorite image of Nancy Rotenberg. My regular blog readers will know who she is and what she meant to me. Now that you know who she is, does it affect your reaction?
The more you connect with your subject, the more those who view your image will too.
If you're finding value in this site, might I ask that you share with your social communities? Thank you!
A Guest Post from Dan Sniffin – Why Photo Celibacy?
Why Photo Celibacy?
Dan Sniffin
A growing number of photographers are practicing what is known as "photo celibacy," where one does not use the images of another as a guide to his/her own work. Cole Thompson, among others, practices this. Most photographers commonly view the work of others to gain insight and inspiration. I'm kind of in-between. My initial reaction is that one has to start somewhere — a technical/visual foundation if you will.
I think this works for Cole, but I submit that it was a slow process for him to get to this point. In other words, what he does today didn't "just happen" by picking up a camera and going out to capture his "vision." He takes it for granted now, but trust me he has looked and studied a lot of work before this celibacy stage of his photographic journey. I clearly agree with him that at some point one should distance his work from others if he wants it to stand out as uniquely his.
I get inspiration from others' work, and therefore continue to learn from it rather than copying it. To make my point, put a group of photographers together in the same place and see how many different images/interpretations/visions come forth. For me, it's not the location or copying of someone else's vision. It's about what you "see" while you're in or near that same location. That is what vision is to me.
Years ago, I wanted to capture an image of Galen Rowell's Horsetail Fall in Yosemite NP. I researched the time of year, time of day, direction of light, and lens choice(s) among other technical information. Even weather variations were checked to increase my percentage of success. I ended up with an image similar to Rowell's. When I look at it now all I see HIS image — not mine. This puts an exclamation point on Thompson's theory and practice. It's a bad idea to study other photographer's landscapes for the sole purpose of duplicating it. There is something that just doesn't feel right by doing so.
However, I don't consider looking at the work of other photographers as "contaminating" either. I see them as building blocks, thereby layering my knowledge and technique. We would not be human if we didn't feel the angst when we see superb photographs. So much so that often we feel insecure and/or inadequate. This is NORMAL — and common! Another reason I agree to some extent with Cole Thompson's philosophy.
So taking famous landmarks is fine in the beginning (as you build your foundation), but working to find alternatives and originality — your vision — remains the ultimate objective of an artist. To illustrate my point here (below) is an alternative image of the classic shot of the alpenglow on El Capitan in winter light (above).
I'm including a story I wrote about the making of this image (below) as I believe it helps convey my thoughts.
A Reflection of Yosemite
Many of Yosemite National Park's landmarks—Yosemite Falls, Half Dome, and Glacier Point—I have photographed on many occasions. But on this cold December afternoon in 1988 I wanted to capture the stillness of this renowned national park. I found it when I stopped at Valley View in Yosemite Valley's west end, a tourist favorite. I was very fortunate to have the place to myself.
By then the Merced River was cloaked in its familiar deep-blue shade leaving two of Yosemite's most identifiable landmarks, El Capitan and Cathedral Rocks, glowing in magnificent light. From experience I knew this type of light is fleeting and rare. I also knew instinctively how little time remained before this light would vanish and immediately searched for compositions that symbolized what I felt.
Scanning the river through my camera's viewfinder I noticed a colorful spot of reflected light. Isolating an area no larger than a common sheet of binder paper I found a granite boulder jutting upwards through the surface of the river surrounded by plates of ice. A leaf nestled gently into a shallow notch in the protruding rock, seemingly frozen there in time. The combinations of light reflected from the precipice of El Capitan and the cobalt-blue sky bathed the now-silent Merced River in breathtaking contrasts of warm and cool colors.
This memorable moment of solitude ended abruptly when a car appeared in the parking area behind me. A couple got out to admire the view that lay before them marveling at the golden glow atop El Capitan as it crept slowly up its enormous rock face.
As I worked in the shade they became aware of my presence near the river's edge. In an attempt to avoid an intrusion on my privacy I heard him quietly ask her, "What's he taking a picture of?"
I glanced back and noticed the woman standing behind me on her tiptoes looking over my shoulder from a short distance away, apparently puzzled by what I saw that she might have missed. Her curiosity drew her in even closer as she stood silently behind me in the bitter cold winter shade.
When the sun set and the sky turned its inevitable gloomy gray the couple walked back to the warmth of their car. Once again he asked her, "What was that guy taking a picture of anyway?"
"Nothing really." she said. "It was only a reflection."

Vision & Technique
Southside Johnny getting lost in it
Fuji X-E2 – 35mm at f 1/4, ISO3200
In his most recent blog post, Cole Thompson suggested how something is better accomplished by personal vision than technical expertise. This reminded me of a friend, who, when asked if her image was captured with digital or film, would reply, "do you like it?" Inevitably, the person would answer, "I love it." She would then say, "great!" and never answer the question at all. Essentially she was saying: Does it matter?
I think there is a difference. My friend's point was valid, film or digital? Who cares? I agree. However, with Cole's point, I agree in part. Vision is indeed important and we should relentlessly pursue ours. But I feel the more we understand technique, be it in-camera or in post processing, the better equipped we are to be able to achieve our vision.
Let me illustrate, if I did not understand the techniques needed for image overlay and texture work, I would never have been able to achieve my vision for the Disney picture I created a few posts back.
For me, vision and technique are intertwined. In fact, I would suggest we need to understand technique so well that we are freed from its constraints and liberated to pursue our vision. Otherwise, we might be frustrated in not being able to fulfill our vision. Another illustration. You see an image like the one below but don't know how you might create something similar. Frustration sets in and you move on to something else.
However, if someone shares the technique, you now have the knowledge and can use it to achieve your vision. The trick is: How do you take this new knowledge and create a vision of your own?
This is where your vision becomes so important. Your objective is to take this knowledge and create something new. Something like the Disney creation above.
When I'm asked, how did you do that? I'm prone to share. I understand where Cole is coming from. He is serious about encouraging folks to chase their vision without influence from others, and I am on board with that. However, I think people are at different places along the creative path. Without a clear understanding of technique, I think it might be harder for some to achieve their vision.
"Develop an infallible technique, then put yourself at the mercy of inspiration." Zen maxim
"One is not really a photographer until preoccupation with learning has been outgrown and the camera in his hands is an extension of himself. There is where creativity begins."
Carl Mydans (1907-2004) American photojournalist
"I see no reason for recording the obvious." Edward Weston, photographer
Your thoughts?
Fuji X-E2 – 35mm f/1.4, ISO 2000
Be the Light
Be the light. No really, be the light. Oft times we hear the masses exclaim, "its all about the light", and they would be partly right. The quality of light is something we need to be keenly aware of. However, the light I'm speaking of is your own. The light we see is one thing, the light we bring to the act/process of image making is another thing. Ansel Adams said it this way, "You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, and the people you have loved." Freeman Patterson says "The camera points both ways." It sees what it sees but is also a reflection of you. Your light if you will. By the way, this includes the bad mood you're in, feeling tired, feeling overwhelmed, the argument you just had with your spouse, etc, etc. The energy from this kind of light may or may not be a good thing. It depends on how you choose to use it and what type of images you are making. Just know that your light whatever that is, will become part of your images.

Abbott Laboratories Com Stk NPV (NYSE:ABT)
Principal business is the discovery, development, manufacture and sale of a broad and diversified line of health care products. Company has four segments: Pharmaceutical Products, Diagnostic Products, Nutritional Products, and Vascular Products.
Facing a spin off of AbbVie Laboratories which consists of the segment with the giant patent expiring in 2015. The rest of the ABT business will consist of supplements and such. Even though there is a competitive market out there, ABT has a good standing. The value of ABT is expected to go up after the spin off because AbbVie is a shareholder worry.
over 50 billion market cap, large cap. Abbott Laboratories has 5 segments: proprietary pharmaceuticals, established pharmaceuticals, diagnostics products, nutritional products, and vascular products. In October of 2011, Abbott announced that it was planning to separate into two publicly traded companies: Abbott: carrying the existing established pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, and nutritional business, and AbbVie: will be the research-based pharmaceutical company that will carry the portfolio of proprietary pharmaceuticals. The spinoff occurred January 2nd of 2013. This is good news: the company was composed of two primary segments that were very different in nature. The Medical Products segment is more consumer-oriented; while the Pharmaceuticals segment is dominated by a few large government players and is strongly research-based, hence needing greater investment and a longer time-span in order to be profitable. The separation of these two segments will indeed unlock value. I think that both are going to be good investments. But it depends on what you're looking for in your portfolio. AbbVie is likely to experience a greater increase in value due to its potential to discover more drugs and acquire more patents. However, there are also greater risks, including the fact that its main money-maker, Humira, is going to expire in 2016. Abbott is a good investment because it holds of portfolio of highly recognizable brands, like Similac, Ensure, Glucerna, and is no longer attached to all the risks associated with pharmaceutical research and patent expirations. According to DCF, it is currently priced at its fair value of around $33. But it seems fair to buy in a good company at its fair value than a bad company at a discount.

Good Points
Easy to use. Detachable whisk. Less bulky and lighter than more expensive machines. Achieves the same results for less money.
Bad Points
Mixing bowl small
General Comments
The Breville SHM2 Food Mixer is a lighter, smaller machine than I have used before which is easy to use and does the job it is supposed to do. However when making large cakes such as christmas cake another bowl is needed therefore having a removable whisk is a good solution. This machine is also good for beginners.

This isn't an arcade game for children or casual gamers. Codemasters put this game together for true motorsports fans and enthusiasts...not people that want to drive a suped up Honda Civic around a cityscape. Simply put it is a racing simulator that has a sparkling finish and F1 authenticity. The...more

I stumbled upon this very interesting math lecture. It's an hour long but worth your time if you're interested in math/physics.

Growing up, I didn't like science. It's not that I didn't believe in it, it's just that it was hard to learn. Some concepts I had trouble grasping, others I would have trouble remembering, and then there was the math...
I was much more interested in the humanities because they came easier to me. I'm a good writer, and majored in English in college. As I got a little older, I developed a passing interest in science, particularly as it pertained to new technology, astronomy, and…Continue

I was reading the comics as usual, and the past three days Frazz has caught my eye. I can not help but replace the Pythagorean Theorem with the Big Bang or Evolution.

I'm not really a v-neck guy
Mike Schmidt
Member since
but I figured I'd give this one a shot. It is high-quality, fits nice, and looks good. I'm a big guy, and the XL is a little tight, but I'm sure if you have a less stocky body than me, this shirt will look great on you.

You may think you're using the most accurate water-test kit available, but it still can read incorrectly or differently than expected.
Almost everyone has experienced the obnoxious chlorine odor and irritating red eyes of a poorly maintained indoor pool. Most assuredly, this is a sign of too much chlorine right?
Yet another study showing a connection between chlorine byproducts and respiratory issues has been released, this one linking the chloramine exposure to hay fever.
Though facilities have used it for years, saline chlorination, otherwise known as on-site sodium hypochlorite generation or simply chlorine generation, is a little-used technology in the U.S. commercial pool market.
A recent study calls into question the reliability of test kits for water quality testing

Verbal abuse by a patient ...
- 1Sep 25, '07 by SassybottomDo you remember the first time you were verbally abused by a patient?
I am a fairly new nurse and the majority of my patients have been very sweet and cooperative. I have had the odd uncooperative or grumpy patient but that is to be expected.
Unfortunately I had a patient today who was extremely condescending towards me - insinuated that I couldn't read, questioned my education, questioned my ethnicity, told me I was not smart, would bark out his demands, pretty much yell out in frustration (with a scary angry look on his face) when I couldn't understand him - he had a trach. I brought a clipboard with some paper in his room to help him communicate his thoughts but he refused to use it - instead he would vocally spell out what he was trying to say (instead of being more efficient and just writing out his thoughts)
I hated going into his room - he would yell out - tell me what to do, etc. He referred to me as little girl.
I have never experienced such verbal abuse. Part of me wonders if I am just being too sensitive - I honestly think I have a pretty thick skin - I have dealt with insults before (I did a stint in emergency psych for my final practicum) and they didn't really affect me. I even had a patient ask if he could do sexual things to me (a sick psych patient).
Part of me wonders if I should be more sensitive to his situation - he must be feeling frustrated because of the communication barrier, he is clearly feeling sick and ill which is why he is in the hospital.
Part of me still feels kind of upset by the situation - trying to rationalize it in my mind.
Sorry for the long post ... just needed to vent.
- 5Sep 25, '07 by leslie :-Di deal with many angry patients.
it doesn't affect me when they're yelling.
but, as soon as they make it personal, i firmly put my foot down.
i verbalize understanding of their situation:
tell them i don't blame them for being so upset;
but i will NOT tolerate your abuse-
followed with a, "do i make myself clear?"
a steady gaze with a moment's silence, and everything's fine after that.
they can tell, by my tone of voice as well as my' scary, angry face', that i mean business.
gen'l abuse i tolerate.
personal abuse, never.
- 0Sep 25, '07 by nursekristyTry to put yourself in his shoes. This does not excuse his behavior but everyone reacts to illness differently.
I would try not to let it bother you AT ALL. Most patients who behave like this are just upset with the situation, not you.
Whenever I had a patient like that I would go out of my way to form somewhat of a bond with them. (this only got me called upon by co-workers to deal with these difficult patients because they knew i could get it done, though)
- 0Sep 25, '07 by withasmilelpnBeing a nurse does not mean being a saint. I respectfully tell patients that I will not tolerate disrespect and expect them to treat me as I do them. You can always resort to "'Mr. Jones' (whoever), you seem a little upset right now, I will return when you have calmed down.
Some people are just nasty, though. You wouldn't have liked them as a neighbor or at work. Just remain professional and keep in mind that after him could be someone worse! (Just kidding - sort of!)
- 3Sep 25, '07 by lovingtheunlovedI work with demented pts. I've been called everything but the nurse. That being said, an A & O pt doesn't get to talk crap to me, I don't get paid enough for that. It's one thing to understand how frustrated/scared/angry/lonely they feel, but they don't have the right to be abusive. Tell 'em. When he starts yelling, inform him that you will return when he is finished being a butthead, (not in those terms, of course) to help him however you can. That usually works for me. Mean people smell fear, remember that.
- 2Sep 25, '07 by TweetyI handle each situation differently. Sometimes I walk out, sometimes like Leslie above, I validate their concerns saying "I would be upset too if I were you, (or it were my child/mother/whomever) let's talk about the issue and what we can do about it." Sometimes a firm "you need to settle down and not talk to me (or "my nurses") like that...." works. Depends on the circumstances and what they are angry about. Usually I can defuse the situation and get them to refocus. I think most people just want to know that someone cares and someone is listens. Others it's the way they were brought up, or are just angry people in general.
One thing is to not take it personally, especially if they are angry at you.Last edit by Tweety on Sep 25, '07
- 0Sep 25, '07 by SassybottomThanks for all the tips and support
Anyone else remember the first time they experienced verbal abuse from an alert and oriented patient?
- 0Sep 25, '07 by KenCCRNQuote from SassybottomSassybottom:Thanks for all the tips and support
Anyone else remember the first time they experienced verbal abuse from an alert and oriented patient?
Dont take it personal....because they don't....They are lashing out due to their illness and it just happened to be you there. If I were standing there I would have taken the abuse. If you continue to work and show the patient that you will be there regardless of the abuse...then he/she will begin to respect you and you will see the change in that patient by the end of the shift or the next day. The key is to have no reaction...they are testing you to see how you will react...play it kewl....and things will be fine.
- 0Sep 26, '07 by vivibonitaI do remember and it was when I was still a student, doing my rotations. I didn't take it personal then, I understood the position the pt was in, but I did let him know that he had been rude and offensive without a valid reason, that I was there to help him and not to be his punching bag... i didn't say that literally but you guys get the point.
Nowadays, (still a student nurse but getting paid), I do the same... let them know that there is NO reason to treat you like that, bad languange will not be tolerated, if they want respect they also should respect others (not only you but also other pts), when you are done with your speech ask them in a nice way if there's anything you can do for them. Sometimes that will bring their guard down sometimes they just keep being...well , pts, then is when you turn your back, make your little notations in your chart, and go on with your life
Don't let anyone bring you down, not even those you are helping

NEWS: Police in Port Talbot are appealing for information following two burglaries in the area.
The first happened overnight on 20th to 21st June when entry was gained via an insecure back door to a house in Bridge Terrace, which is off Danybryn Road.
The 86-year-old female victim woke to find that a large quantity of jewellery had been stolen from the house, including wedding and engagement rings and various other rings, many of which come from Germany with German hallmarks.
The second incident happened in Sandown Road, Sandfields at around 3.20am on Tuesday 24th June when entry was gained through a dining room window. The occupants were woken by their dog barking.
Among the items stolen was an orange zip-up purse containing cash, bank cards, identification and family photos and a black wallet containing bank cards and student identification. Also taken was a tablet computer, three packets of Amber Leaf tobacco and a gold engagement ring in a H Samuel box, as well as a rare coin.
Detective Inspector Trudi Meyrick of Neath Port Talbot CID said: "Both these burglaries have resulted in distinctive jewellery of great sentimental value to the victims being stolen and we are appealing for anyone with information about this property to come forward.
"Unfortunately entry has been gained to these homes via unlocked or insecure windows and doors and once again I would urge people to lock windows and doors as this will remove opportunities for a burglar and significantly decreases the chances of becoming a victim."
Anyone with information about the burglaries or the stolen property should call police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously 0800 555 111
NEWS: Tata Steel have reassured the public after reports of a loud bang at its Port Talbot steelworks.

RICHMOND—Developers will have
to do more to win low-income housing tax credits (LIHTCs)
in Virginia in 2008.
Officials will only consider applications for LIHTCs
that reach a minimum point score, according to the proposed
qualified allocation plan (QAP) for the program. The draft
QAP sets the minimum score at 500, though the final minimum
score could be as low as 300, officials say. Applications
can theoretically score as high as 1,000.
"We put that number [500] there to generate comments,"
said James M. Chandler, director of LIHTC programs for the
Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA).
Fortunately for developers, the proposed QAP, which
officials planned to finalize Nov. 7, includes new
opportunities for developers to rack up points, Chandler
For example, proposed developments that meet the high
standards for efficient use of resources and creation of
healthy living spaces set by EarthCraft will be able to
earn 30 points in 2008, up from 15 points. EarthCraft is a
program developed by the Greater Atlanta Home Builders
Association in partnership with Southface Energy
Those extra 30 points are in addition to the 25 points
that already reward measures like energy-efficient windows
and appliances and water submetering.
Considering that applications for LIHTCs in Virginia
typically score only 500 to 600 points, the 55 extra points
can make a big difference for an application.
Chandler hopes that VHDA's incentives will
eventually motivate as many as 70 percent of the winning
deals to measure up to the EarthCraft standard, compared to
40 percent in 2007.
Another 25 points will reward projects that plan to use
property managers certified by VHDA.
VHDA also plans to allow more projects to apply under
its 15 percent set-aside for projects that preserve
existing affordable housing. The setaside used to only
target projects in Northern Virginia.
In 2008, VHDA will set aside 5 percent of its LIHTCs for
preservation projects in any part of the state. Another 10
percent will be set aside for Northern Virginia.
In Virginia, most preservation projects involve the
acquisition and rehabilitation of buildings that
don't have formal income restrictions but which
house low-income residents who could potentially be
displaced by rising rents, Chandler said.
VHDA will ask for more next year from projects that plan
to acquire and rehabilitate existing properties. To qualify
for LIHTCs, these projects must plan to spend at least
$15,000 on average to fix up each apartment, up from
$7,500. Chandler hopes the change will weed out of the
competition what Virginia developers call "sweep and paint"
The demand for LIHTCs in Virginia is high enough to
support the extra demands VHDA plans to put on developers,
Chandler said. Affordable developers applied for $27
million in LIHTC in 2007, nearly twice the $15 million the
agency had to hand out.
That subsidy will only produce 2,654 affordable
apartments at a cost of $57,000 per unit over 10 years.
That per-unit cost is 21 percent higher than the $47,000
per-unit cost of apartments produced with 2005 LIHTCs.
Rising construction costs are making it much more
difficult to develop affordable apartments, Chandler said.
He estimates that the hard cost of construction has risen 5
percent to 10 percent in 2007 alone, as prices jumped for
copper and steel.
Rising costs have made it especially difficult to
develop affordable housing using low-interest tax-exempt
bond financing combined with equity from 4 percent LIHTCs,
Chandler said.
"The biggest barrier to winning bond cap is getting a
deal that pencils out," he said.
Virginia developers will probably only close four deals
in 2007, even though the state has enough tax-exempt bond
cap set aside for affordable rental housing to finance many
times that.
Of Virginia's $650 million in total tax-exempt
bond cap, 41 percent is set aside every year to finance
affordable rental housing. In 2007, that works out to $265
million split between VHDA and local housing
In addition, any cap not used for industrial development
also flows to VHDA at the end of the year to use for
But the four deals in VHDA's pipeline will only
use $36.8 million in cap to create 442 affordable
apartments. Hundreds of millions in unused cap will flow
into VHDA's home loan programs.
In comparison, in 2006, VHDA used $100 million in bond
cap to finance seven projects totaling 1,150 units of
housing. That's more than twice the amount of
housing in the pipeline for 2007.

Tab Wrong About Kim Kardashian's "New Man"
By Michael Lewittes | 3:03 pm, October 7th, 2010
"It's all about new beginnings for Kim Kardashian — she has a new TV show, a new zip code, and now, a new man, too!" begins an "exclusive" from In Touch.
So, who's the "new man"?
"One Tree Hill" star Michael Copon, claims the magazine.
According to In Touch, a "galpal" of the reality star says, "Kim is dating Michael. They have known each other for years, but he and Kim just recently reconnected" and are "hitting it off romantically."
Ooh, romantically…
It's true Kardashian knows Copon – the two appeared on the television series "Beyond the Break"- but that's it.
While Kardashian recently said she'd be up for some hook-ups in New York, Copon is not on the list.
A source close to the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star tells Gossip Cop, she and Copon are "NOT dating."
Once again, In Touch is totally out of touch.
