blur

2007.01.18





Today was a blur. I got home from an important meeting, and realized my glasses were crooked. I had one of those moments of retroactive embarrassment, imagining myself looking like a middle aged revenge of the nerds extra, and made my last of many feeble attempts to fix the frame.

*snap*

I can balance the one-armed frame on the bridge of my nose to see the computer screen, but that only works - sort of - when I'm sitting still. I needed new contacts and a new pair of glasses anyway, but until I get them, you might notice a little extra fuzz in some images. I can see distance, but what's close is a problem. I can't see what aperture or shutter speed I've set, so I have to rely on listening to the shutter speed to tell if I'm getting it right.

Here's tonight's midnight run past the hipsters to the grocery store.

I love those 'perfect fruit' people, who have to examine 20 apples before they find one good enough to put in their basket.

chipotle i rotate two pair of glasses in and out of the optician's office because i am so hard on the frames. for me, life seems to go out of balance when my vision does. from your shots, though, you seem to maintain better perspective than you give yourself credit for.

EarwenElore As always great shots! You story reminded me of my best friend. One day she arrived to school very annoyed. "I cant see, yesterday everything was fine but today I just cant focus"... that went on aaaall day. The next one she told me: " you know, I wore my sister's contacts yesterday"....I'm still laughing..jeje
