<h2>Don't ask a man with a camera to sit <br> and wait; he's not likely to listen</h2>

Leave a camera-toting guy alone in a hospital waiting room late at night when traffic is very light, and he's likely to get trigger itchy. Who knows what kinds of things he's likely to find interesting enough to photograph?

Like these images, for example ... taken in and around one of the waiting rooms of St. Francis Hospital-South on Emerson Avenue in Indianapolis. Well, except for the shots of the hospital exterior and the St. Francis statue, which were taken just outside the Women and Children's Service entrance to the hospital. I admit the statue face closeup appears a bit creepy, but it really is a likeness of the saint known for his respect and kindness to animals.

I had my camera, but no tripod. All of these images were hand-held.
