Where I've Been

Readers might have noticed that I have not written any posts in over a week.  The first few days this was related to my last topic regarding distractions and my desire to get more image processing done.  However, I did have posts planned for this weekend but ran into some difficulty.   Seemingly out of the blue (turns out that, in reality,  people that are near-sighted are at risk and it isn't all that uncommon) I developed a retinal tear with an ocular hemorrhage.  It was very 'sixties-like' in that all of a sudden I saw swirling black ink making all sorts of odd psychadelic shapes that quickly evolved into the appearance of walking through a sandstorm.  Two emergency room visits later that day, I found myself on my back in a chair, a speculum in my eye, with a retinal specialist pressing on my eyeball with an external probe while firing a bright green and mildly painful laser beam into my eye in order to seal a retinal tear. It is a bit difficult to type this, as the vision in my right eye at the moment is quite poor, but I am told that it will be back to normal in about a week.  In the meantime, all photographic endeavors have stopped.  So please bear with me......the blog will be back!  I just need to be able to see.
