Who is THAT in the mirror?
I updated my profile picture. It is quite odd that I see it with my limited vision and have a hard time truly getting that it is me. When I get up in the morning I don't see my face in the mirror, not out of choice, but because of how my vision is. It would require a lot of work to actually 'see' my reflection, so I don't bother. I am not mental, in denial, or anything like that. I simply choose through out my day, what I am going to fight to fully take in with what sight I have and let other things just go by the wayside. I took this picture (profile) right after a hair appointment. Actually, my husband took the picture, I just posed for it.The whole posing thing is kind of weird as well. I don't know where to train my eyes. I don't see cues like I used to for picture taking. Then there is the fact that my camera was set on capturing a "slight smile". Really, who wants a slight smile? Anyhoo it is just plain weird to not really recognize oneself, that is all I am saying.
