I possess an eye defect. I own short-sightedness. The truth is that I often worry about my eyes.
I am afraid that my eye defect will be getting worse. I already mentioned in my previous posts that I have some nightmares and fears of which I am worried. Becoming homeless or getting a mental illness is one of them. I also do afraid of becoming blind. I sometimes imagine what I would do if I became blind? Undoubtedly, I would stop taking pictures, but simultaneously, I would focus on writing.
With writing, I have similar feelings about making photographs. The more I do it, the more I want to do it. It is also my big passion.
Back to the central theme, I sometimes think of how a person with short-sightedness can make good pictures as I do. Speaking shortly: I do not see objects which are placed in a long distance. When I am walking through the streets of Warsaw and making photographs, I do always do it without my glasses. I wonder how it is possible that someone who does not see objects in the distance can make good, odd pictures? I cannot explain this phenomenon.
Who knows, maybe my eye defect paradoxically is my advantage?
Perhaps I take photographs of the trash, for example, because I see them unclearly and out of focus. In my eyes appears slurred shape, with challenging to describe the shape of the silhouette. Thus, I see a sharp image scarcely on the screen. Honestly, it is hard for me to explain all these issues.
Nevertheless, I hope that my eye defect will not be getting worse. I plan to take pictures my whole life, so I need healthy eyes to do it. And you, my Dear Friend, do you have an eye defect? Or, do you take pictures with your glasses?
