THROUGH MY EYES |
||
|
||
Carla Metzler |
Notice that some of this picture is bright and clear; while other sections are dull and blurred, with a little help from PS. My left eye is the one that was injured and my vision became dull and blurred much like selected areas of this image. This is just how things looked…through my eyes. Today I am happy to say, both eyes see clearly once again, and I sure thank God for that! So I am back, but not full force. I will not be making a lot of comments because I should not strain my eye greatly, but I do appreciate all of your wonderful images, and in time, I will see them all once again. Our eyes are a treasure, the wonderful gift of sight.

Hi Carla, thank goodness you got your sight back, I was wondering where you were as you had not been on. Now take your time and get back to shooting, no strain but when you see a great image, click, thats all it takes, so glad you are back and OK. I am on holidays in Windsor/Detroit area for another 4 weeks so probably wont be putting anything on, not that I dont want too,but will try. You take good care of yourself, life is precious in any form Stan K

Carla a very moving story today! I am sad to hear of your injury but glad to know that you are back and feeling better. I was actually worried not seeing any new entries but I try never to think of the negative side of things. Take care and give your injury time to heal properly. We all want you back with us.

Welcome back, Carla! In my gallery there is this quote... "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched...but are felt in the heart." -Helen Keller (1880-1968) We as photographers are keenly aware how important our sight is, but it takes a person who is blind to put it in the right perspective. There is nothing better than knowing our friends and family are there to love us and help us through a difficult time. I wish you a speedy recovery and the vision to see the world in a whole new light!

Carla, your photos and your personality have been deeply missed, and your explanation, while sad to read, brings bittersweet joy to everyone who admires you and your work...because ~ at least in your case ~ it has a happy ending. WELCOME BACK, dear Lady! Forget the comments, just post your lovely work as you are able, and the rest will take of itself.
