Jan 16: Not well

You don’t want to see my face right now. You really don’t. I said I wasn’t feeling well, and I’m not. I’m prone to a rare viral infection which joins forces with my eczema and thoroughly beats me up. My face is swollen and painful. I look like the looser in a boxing match. Fortunately I know what this is now, and can get a prescription which sorts it out in a few days. The first time I had this, I’d seen 3 different doctors over the course of a week before it was correctly diagnosed and I spent two weeks off work. This thing can get ugly fast if left untreated. I know there are people out there with more to worry about than a temporarily disfiguring illness, but I’m feeling sorry for myself right now. So todays’ PotD is just to show I still look OK in the dark...

No Photoshop other than resizing.

David, I'm so sorry to hear you're not feeling well! Sounds miserable. On the positive side, this silhouette is great!

I'm glad your illness does not preclude your creativity and your ability to pull off such shots. Here's hoping that you will be back to normal very soon.
