I had a freak accident in my bathroom Thursday morning, a slip that resulted in me severely poking my right eye with my finger (which is my dominant eye–used for the viewfinder). I started out in the  St Helena hospital (north end of Napa Valley), and they eventually found someone to take me in 100 miles away at Stanford University, where a team operated on me in the wee hours of Friday morning. They fixed a rupture in the back of the globe, but there is also damage to the retina and related tissue as well as blood inside my eyeball. It appears that I will have multiple surgeries in upcoming weeks. I currently have no vision in that eye and they have given me little hope that the future surgeries will do anything to bring it back, but they are needed for the health  of the globe itself. 

Without some sort of miracle, I'll have to re-learn a lot about how to live out my photography passion, not to mention my daily life tasks.

Just another reminder to appreciate what you have while you have it!

[Update, June 22, 2016] I had 3 retina reattachment surgeries after the initial emergency surgery.. in Jan, Feb, and Mar. This time, it seems to be staying in place. They took my lens out and have filled the globe with silicon oil. Right now, I just see light and dark, and I wear a 'pirate patch' most of the time due to the distraction.
One more surgery has just been scheduled for August 2 where they'll insert an artificial lens and swap out the oil for saline. It will make the vision sharper, but my retina is pretty messed up, so the image will likely be quite distorted, and may not align well with my good eye image (in other words, double vision). If it's bad enough, they'll prescribe a lens that purposely blurs things again.

My take on #thebonocore  …with a bit of #jarviespin  added for good measure.
  Those who know me best would probably say I'm more like the Pillsbury Doughboy than Jack Bauer or Jason Bourne, but this is my tough photographer guy attempt for #selfysunday .  

  I'm really looking forward to Photoshop World, including Tuesday evening's photowalk with +Michael Bonocore and other great +SmugMug folks…and so many other G+ friends to finally hangout in real life (HIRL). 
  If you'll be at PSW, please write it in the comments!

  I wish I could say that the 1Dx and 500mm f/4 L IS II were mine,..but they belong to a friend, and I'm helping her find a buyer for them…
