Re: 12 day exposure

I suspect that ythe reason there was so little flair from the window is that the days were mostly overcast and the light level in the window was quite low.

  Bill,
  Very nice picture!
  Did you have any difficulty leaving the camera around undisturbed for that long a period in what seems to be a public space. I'm also struck by the amount of light coming from the window and how little it seems to create a backlight problem in the photograph. What kind of film did you use to be able to make such a long exposure?

The situation was 'as is'. i'd been thinking about this image for several years. It's now the museum of the current hospital on the same grounds.
