Yep... one more eye apt.
Hopefully, last check-up before my surgery.
I feel like I'm living at doctors offices these days.

83/365 - March 24th, 2009








Doctors apt... My Pre-Op apt. with my primary care physician, I am now cleared to count down the days until I go under the knife... April 1st.

Been doing a lot of thinking this week, and the surgeon, seems to think after my operation (to address my tumor), that I will have minimal scarring, but, just in case, I took the P&S camera and tried to get a quick, but decent shot, of my face beforehand.

79/365 - March 20th, 2009




Still trying to work on my trigger finger. This one was taken with a my P&S camera.

78/365 - March 19th, 2009

77/365 - March 18th, 2009




Playing with the P&S camera and different perspectives.

76/365 - March 17th, 2009



Got my MRI results back...

I have a hopefully, most probably,
benign tumor on my optical nerve.

Needless to say, I didn't take this photo,
but I thought it would count as today's photo.

Now, my doctors and I just need to figure
the best course of action for my treatment.

Keep your fingers crossed, I can save my eyesight!

(Blind photographers... probably don't make much money! LoL!!!)


BTW - Happy St. Patrick's Day, Everyone!

Been having a lot of trouble seeing out of my left eye,
so I went to a ophthalmologist apt. today.

I'm not sure why I'm smiling,
I just had my eyes dilated,
and I am on my way to get blood work,
so I can get an MRI tomorrow.
Fun! NOT!

I thik the smile, is because
of the fashionable sunglasses.

Don't you just love my fashionable sunglasses???

Kyle playing hockey, in a "real" game. We have done clinic all season (not a team, no real games), and he was so excited to play in a "real" game, against another team. In fact this weekend, was a jamboree, and he got to play in three games. His team won 2 of the 3. Can you just imagine the excitement for a 5 year old! Check out the concentration on his face. I love it.

57/365 - February 26th, 2009



I know that these are not very techically correct, I was testing some lights, and my light meter. (Confirmed, I need to send the light meter to be repaired. Not so happy about.) But, for the first time in a long time, I got my hubby to patiently sit in front of my camera, so I could run through tests. Thanks Ken! I really need to edit these images... they SOOC images.

56/365 - February 25th, 2009



My kids... actually sharing!

for a long time. LoL!

Chatting with a friend about posing techniques and how without changing anything (camera pov, lighting, or camera settings), you can get a completly different photo and feeling. This is a quick illustration of that. One has a more masculine feeling and one is more feminine feeling.
