8 years late in getting these posted. Life can be distracting 😉.
Started Week One of SBRT
Week one of four weeks of Targeted Radiation started. Today went well. I can’t say enough good things about the clinic staff; they’re so supportive and really listen to my concerns and explain the process, as it relates to me, extremely well. I can expect fatigue and skin irritation. They gave me a cream for the irritation, which I apply twice a day.
The anxiety I had as well as everyone who has come in contact with my case is the tumors close proximity to the coronary artery that feeds the left side of my heart and to the main nerve that runs down my left arm. It was explained to me today that they can adjust the beam to within 1mm of where it needs to be. Additionally, if I were to slightly shift my body, for whatever reason, the SBRT machine automatically shuts off, so the beam cannot damage any tissue it’s not supposed to.
So, all good today 👍🏻. Thinking all positive thoughts!!
🙏🏻❤️
PS: Diseases like cancer can rob you of your identity. I haven’t used any of my cameras in months and it seems the real ‘me’ is slipping away from me. The mental battle is to not let cancer/disease to take away what is ‘me’. Never give in!!!💪🏻👊🏻
Dumbo-Brooklyn
Manhattan Bridge
Two Faces of Monday
Monday I posted a color version of this photo on Instagram and FB. Thought I would post the black and white version.
Film Location
Taken a few years ago in NYC. I stumbled upon a large production set for some sort of film.
Where are You?
In todays world it seems easy to connect/reconnect. Saw this guy texting on the cobblestone streets of DUMBO, in Brooklyn. After a few minutes of standing alone the gentleman was reconnected with his companion.
Descent
Heading down into a subway station in Manhattan.
Untitled
I posted this on FaceBook yesterday so thought ……why not here?
Location: Museum Mile and E. 81st St., NY. near the Metropolitan Museum.
Yoga Class
This posting goes along with the Pagoda image from a couple of days back. There was a yoga class outside at the Seattle Center, which I thought was interesting. The tree is part of the landscape.
“Meet me Where the Pavement Ends” (B&W version)
A Black and White version of the previous posting. Shot in 1996 on film. Once I scanned it into a PC a few years ago, I have made some minor adjustments, cropping and contrast mostly, converting to B&W. Of the thousands of images I have shot since, this one remains in my top ten. Interestingly enough, I have shown this image in at least three shows, and it has never sold. My next door neighbor, Hanna, my wife and daughter love it though. So, all is not lost :-).
