July 16: Self Portrait Friday

Got my eyes checked today. Mild upgrade on my glasses. He said if I really want to improve my photography that it is not my eyesight that needs to be fixed.
Perhaps I should have my head examined? ;-)

It's the Six Million Dollar Man! Robin, this one is fantastic. Creative, well executed, and in-sight-ful. Berry, berry good.
snootydog18-Jul-2004 02:06
oh my. This is just so excellent. You actually look good here with these glasses on. I would actually love to walk around in a pair of glasses that looked like this. Robin, you never cease to amaze me with you antics

Fantastic image..

It would make for a nice carnival mask! Glasses are a drag :(
Guest 17-Jul-2004 04:45
Better or Worse....Better or worse....

This or that....this one or that???
Don't you HATE the way they do that SOOO fast??? I'm always like, HOLD ON!! Can I see the first one again? OR, Are you sure they are different?? Sometimes I think they DON'T change them just to mess with us!!

Cool SP!, sorry for the babble@
Guest 17-Jul-2004 04:27
I thought you'd gotten one of thoe high-powered
cameras..haha! Awesome shot!
Guest 17-Jul-2004 03:55
Robin this is a fun shot! Excellent crop! I get worried in this machine... because I am always paranoid I won't pick the sharpest image, then the correction will be wrong!
Guest 17-Jul-2004 02:52
LOL! That is SO cool. WHat a great idea for a Friday s/p. Well, since they can't make your arms any longer, they'll just have to give you better glasses!
Jude Marion17-Jul-2004 01:19
Cool shades, Robin! Are they Foster Grants? 8o)
Karen Leaf16-Jul-2004 22:37
This is too funny! Some alien creature? $6 Million Man? No, we can see it's you from your eyes! Good one! Did you deliberatly book your eye exam for today, knowing it was a SP day? :)
Cheryl Hawkins16-Jul-2004 22:35
Very funny! Great photo.
Robin Reid16-Jul-2004 22:03
Yes it took some nerve to ask the Dr's assistant to let me do it. She was a bit suspicious (can you blame her?), so I had to explain Pbase, PaD etc., etc.
I rushed the shot and took only one, but I could tell from the "replay" that it would work with some PS touchup.
Cindy16-Jul-2004 21:45
LOL, this is too funny, what did you pay him to take this pic?? I have to go for my eye checkup also, afaid to see how bad they got. I think this photography stuff is straining them big time, it's an addiction I won't give up though.
Stu16-Jul-2004 21:26
Wow... an optician with a sense of humour! Must be all that rain you get there in San D.
Guest 16-Jul-2004 20:35
I went to the dentist today, and since I don't use my teeth to take photographs (not yet, anyway), I didn't get any comments like this at MY visit..and certainly not pictures...wait, do x-rays count? could my x-ray have been my SP for today?? LOL
Gayle P. Clement16-Jul-2004 20:27
So creative and so much fun. You are wonderful, Robin!
Ray :)16-Jul-2004 20:20
Robin; you are crazy!!
Lou Giroud16-Jul-2004 20:07
Where is the explaination about how to use this instrument to check the focusing of your eyes and what glasses you need to redress this. You know I am curious about everything ......
Herb 16-Jul-2004 20:00
This is the first time, I have seen you totally focused....LOL
brother_mark16-Jul-2004 19:27
Neat. What does HE know about photography? :-)
Guest 16-Jul-2004 19:27
Lol! Oh Robin, you are too much! This is wonderfully creative. You must be on good terms with your eye person.
