Random Esquire

This is my friend’s eye.  The first time I met her and saw her eyes, I did a double take and decided I wanted a picture.  It only took 3 more months of cajoling to get it.

1.  I found Little Filthy with his front paws straddling the toilet, face down into the bowl.  I would have scolded him but having felt rather the same way, I just pulled him out the skipped the lecture.

2.   Buddy had a rough day trying for the fourth time to set up a bank account.  Here’s how it went:

Buddy:  I went to the bank to set up an account and the lady did it wrong FOUR times.

Not good for my blood pressure.
But the lady had nice hands.
So.
There was that.

RandomEsq:  Those must have been some really nice hands.

Buddy:  I admired them.  Four times.

RandomEsq:  Nice.

Buddy:  If she had been a troll, I would have thrown a fit.

I know, it’s awful.
But that’s the kind of day it’s been.
So who cares?

3.  You know what sucks?  When you can’t decide which you’d like more: a drink or a cigarette.

Especially when you aren’t a big drinker and when you’ve quit smoking.

4.  I’ve been trying my hand at tilt-shift photography – it tends to make things look like they are miniatures.  Here’s a picture from Venice, one from Chicago and an eyeball.

Got a bit

of a

wanderin’ eye

issue

goin’ on.

I continue to take pictures of eyes.  This is Sitcom’s eye.  Click to enlarge.

Sometimes, I get an idea and can’t shake it.  This morning, an idea came to me.

Pictures of eyeballs.

I decided to start with my own eye.  I set up the tripod, camera, flash…and then sat down in front of the camera.  I closed my eye to let my pupil get large and then…started snapping.

Here is my eye, up close and personal.

Once I get a large collection of eyeball shots, I think I shall put them together in a mosaic to create another large picture.

So!  Any volunteers to let me take a picture of their eye?
