Subject: [Leica] IMG: Eyes in Transition

After having a cataract removed from my left eye, and awaiting surgery 
on the right eye, I find myself in a photographic limbo.  I can focus 
and frame without glasses, but can't read the menus or controls.  The 
lenses I have are not matched to the repaired eye, so they are 
makeshift, at best.  I concluded I had best set the camera up in its 
simplest configuration.  It is in Program Mode for the near future.

Testing my ability to use the camera, I turned to a Christmas gift from 
years ago, a relief map of the Great Smoky Mountains, with frames for 
the addition of small prints.  My wife and I spent many happy days 
exploring this area.

And, zooming in on one of the photos, the old water mill.

I think I can exist with this configuration until my eye work is completed.

A Happy New Year to all of you! :-)
