once
i can see clearly now, the rain is gone
i got my new Rx glasses and it was a relief to have clear vision. However, I realized the next morning that the guy that tried to fit them, cracked the frame. Grr! and what got me more upset is that he laughed when he said, "don't try this at home" as he was bending the legs w/o warming it up first. And I replied w/, "with as long as I've been wearing glasses, I KNOW not to try that on my own". but b/c i had no contacts in and he had the glasses in his hand, I didn't see the crack until I did.
So, the glasses are back in the lab, and hopefully I'll get back in about 2 days. Meh.
And that sky isn't blown out, it was just a sad gloomy grey day.
AND if you want to read a funny story, proceed. If not, that's fine w/ me too, I know y'all don't read everything here anyway. ;P
So, I have a Dr's appointment today and I'm told to put on the gown
that was provided. And I get this stupid ass fucking bright idea of getting my shot THERE b/c of the dr's office setting
and the fact that I had those shoes on, up there, and it'd be quite a
funny pair w/ the ugly gown provided. So, I quickly set up my
settings, compose my shot, jump up on the little bed in there, cross
my legs, and aim w/ my remote and at the same effin time, i hear ONE
knock and the front desk nurse opens the door! "oh!!!! i'm
sorry", and she leaves. gah!!! c'mon lady! one knock and you
enter?! and of course, it's just my luck to try a shot like that and
then get caught. so, i scurried, got my camera back in my bag, took
off my shoes, and waited for the dr. and that was that.

pah. You'd already been 'caught' why not continue and get the shot ?

My wife got caught during a shot at a Dr. office, too. It's Murphy's Law. At least she didn't knock over your camera... lol
Nice portrait here Susy. Something about you sitting on a guardrail gives it a little extra something. It must be the "not normal" aspect of it that provides the transformation.

Nice shot here, too, by the way!

Yeah, I notice when you're not fully dressed they seem to rush the knock and the entering all together. Go figure.
Yay for new glasses. :)

ha! love it. I once made my therapist take a shot with me, but I promised her I'd cut her head out. :)
I love this shot. I always want to use highway space, but here in the city, that's a quick and stupid way to get hurt.

Not sure where you are, but we have the same skies and I'm sick of them. Looks like I've got to wait a couple more days before the blues are back. Love your story. It's one that could happen to all of us.

ha! I was just thinking about doing a picture on a guardrail this week. Great minds think alike, though I dunno if I'd take a selfie in a doctor's gown. :P
