Photographer    Each Willamette Medical Teams group has a photographer. The team buys film and makes a list of impossible, "must get" pictures. During the 15 days, while pulling regular duties, this unsung hero clicks and flashes and lines up and moves around, over and under, and clicks and flashes some more, all to make a flawless documentary.    After the trip, 140 of the best slides will be selected, copied and presented to you. You can show the folks back home that you really did make it to the foreign field! You can take your own camera if you want to, but you do not need to. The photographer will be there with his/her for those of us who cannot take pictures. Having a photographer also makes it easier for us, so that we not have to run around taking one another's picture like tourists. The photographer does his/her best to tell the team's story. He/she may also have a script or list of pictures to take in order to illustrate life in this foreign country. One of our major ministries has been telling our story to North Americans through slide presentations and photo displays. The photographer is our story teller. Would you like to help write the story? If so, tell your team leader.    Some local people do not want their pictures taken and some want to be paid. Do not pay and do not prey on subjects. Most will be quite congenial if you are. You can ask permission to take a picture of an individual by saying "photo?" in a questioning voice. This extends to them the courtesy of having a say in the matter. Do not forget to take off the lens cap! To The Photographer    It is essential that you photograph each team member doing each job to which they are assigned. This is difficult to keep track of without a written record. Consider using a small, pocket size note pad which has alphabetic tabs. Then write each team member's name on a page with plenty of room to write notes after the name. Then record shooting a particular item, such as Susie being nurse, Susie being boss, Susie cooking, etc. That way you can be sure that you have a complete log of what happened, also keep pages for such things as scenery, local people, missionaries, camp, recreation, etc. Remember — all the team members are counting on you to capture the sights as well as the more abstract items like feelings, heat, sorrow, joy, fatigue, fun, beauty, etc. We trust that you will have a great time as photographer!
