My last 9 shots posted will make more sense after your read this. There is something that those who come to visit my Flickr shots should know, as my activity here may change. Last November, I was told by an eye specialist "Have no doubt, you will lose your vision." I have developed the most common cause of blindness in North America, Age-related Macular Degeneration". Mine is an unusual combination of wet and dry, untreatable and progressive. It has already reached the advanced stage in my right eye, making reading with it very difficult. In any case, I shall try to carry on and "see" what happens :) No timeline was given so perhaps I will have years of vision left. I hope to carry on for a while here but may have times when it is difficult - my neck has become strained from leaning towards the computer screen to read.
NOTE To Photographers. One of the causes of AMD is overexposure to UV rays. For decades I shot sunsets through the optical viewfinder of SLRs. I thought it was safe to look at the sun when it was low. My viewfinder eye is much worse than the other eye, and I wonder now if that might have contributed to the problem. Please compose shots using only your LCD displays!!!!
Another of my shortcomings was to not have UV protection on my eye glasses. Now I do - and it is not expensive. Please only wear glasses with UV protection. Save your eyes. I would like to not have to talk more about this, so comments aren't expected. Just wanted you to know if am seeming to be more inconsistent.
And thank heaven for auto-focus :)

RTE’s Mary Kennedy (pictured right) is joined by AMD patient Hilda Barrett to launch AMD Awareness Week 2011, which takes place from Saturday 17th- Sunday 25th September. AMD (age-related macular degeneration) is the most common cause of registered blindness in Ireland and is thought to affect one in ten people over 50. Throughout AMD Awareness Week, free testing will be available to detect the early signs of AMD at a range of opticians, eye doctors, public libraries, golf clubs and other locations nationwide. Further information about AMD and free testing locations throughout the country is available at www.amd.ie. Picture Conor McCabe Photography.
