New years eve. Last year.
I tried seeing a movie at the Paris across from the apple store and Plaza
hotel but I was having vision problems so I had to walk out in the middle.
I could not focus and  I was worried.
And this  was around 45 minutes before the ball dropped in Midtown.
So I started heading towards Central Park with what seemed to be a whole lot
of other people for some odd reason but you know me I'm a Lemming.

I was packing a 50mm 1.8 Nikkor a few stops faster than my average lens.
I thought the fog was my eyes but as you can see it's really there.
The glasses I got the following week I've had all year and worked fine.

And I had my vision checked last went and my prescription has not changed.
Some shots I did in the subway worried me a few weeks ago.
There was a fog around all the lights.
But when I saw the shots I could see the fog was were really there again.

The fog creeps in on little cat feet.
It sit on silent haunches,
Fiddling with its f stops
And then stops down.
