I gave away my cameras and lenses

    I can certainly empathize with you. My vision has gotten much worse over this past year, and while I can enlarge most things on my laptop screen, I can't even read the the subtitles and scripts on my 55" flat screen TV only 12' away. I think I fear the loss of my vision more than my other senses.
    Science has come a long way on improving devices for visually impaired, and just bout every book has been converted to audio, so we have that going for us.
    Hang in there, but NO hand drawn pictures of your coins will not be accepted, especially in crayon. LOL

    I'm still grieving over the demise of film cameras. I know that film is still used in large 'view cameras' but all that lovely Leica equipment I was so proud of, now just 'collector's items'..
    Just the musings of an old fart stuck in last century,

    @Mountain Man I fear my drawings, crayon or otherwise, are much worse than my sight problems, so no, I won't be posting any hand drawn pics. LOL.

    I understand. I’ve never been a good photographer. So I rely on someone else or my phone. But I’m realizing the things I can’t do anymore either. I’ve put off surgery on my elbows quite awhile and it’s getting worse with having no feeling in my hands. Going to have to bite the bullet sooner than later. Had actually planned on scheduling one in 2020 then Covid hit. Just be glad you’re healthy and still walking amongst the living that’s what’s most important

    I gave "likes" to the two of you because there are things that will make things better for you and you are both aware. Mainebill I am under the impression you are going to take care of this in early '24.

    No no chance of early 24. Maybe maybe late 24 early 25. This right now is one of my few slower times of year. I average 80 hours of work a week and have for 30 years. Mid summer it can easily be 100-110 hours a week. I’ve done 15-16 hour days 7 days a week for a month straight. I’m also hoping to have a little work done on me for me too this year
