After a good night's sleep the talk of cats eating my eyes has all but left me. I woke up feeling well and rested.
The double-expresso is busy preparing itself now...
My wife was Canadian-sitting over at a friend's house in Brooklyn so I had the apartment to myself. I drank a beer and went through the menu settings on my camera, further convincing myself that I need some actual instruction in photography. A friend is coming into town that I might go shooting with for the day, and she just finished an intensive photography school, so I will drain her of knowledge and procedure.
It occurred to me this morning as I was looking through my pictures (to find one to post) that my interest in photography did not really develop with the purchase of my digital camera, the DMC-LX3, but that it really emerged once I had the iPhone. Having the camera on the phone is what really prompted my interest in photography, not as I had claimed previously with the purchase of the digital. I crave the new iPhone, and its advanced 5mp camera. I have spent so much money on my current camera setup that I know not to mention it openly in front of my wife. I'm praying she doesn't read this post....
The picture above is of my eye. I took it at the Dr.'s office with my phone. It is an image of my inner-eye. It was from my last appointment with him, when I got the prescription for the glasses. It has been two years and I fear going back, fear the news that he will tell me my vision has gotten even worse, that I will need a new pair of glasses and that eventually I will need to have my skull removed and replaced.
That is what I fear, total cranial replacement surgery...
The results from my last attempt did not go as well as I had hoped...
