De una punta de la costa a otra, desde la Azhoía hasta las calas de Bolnuevo, cerca de las playas nudistas, podemos encontrar estos acantilados, de un acceso algo complicado, pero vamos que se puede llegar bien andando, esta toma casi me tira la cámara al agua el fuerte oleaje que había, pero ante la duda cogemos y quitamos la cámara, aunque este la foto con velocidad baja, solo es que hay que repetir la toma.

Sampson has been our buddy since 2004. In the winter of 2008, he suffered a severe perineal hernia that required a $2000 surgery to repair it. At the time of the surgery, we were told that due to the severity of the hernia that it was likely to reoccur. As predicted, it has reoccurred and he desperately needs more surgery. Other than the hernia, he is a happy, healthy and active dog who should live to his mid to late teens. Therefore, I cannot in good conscience end his life prematurely. I have also contacted a Corgi rescue in hopes that he could be adopted to a family that is more financially able to care for him. However, since my husband and I can't have children, giving him up for adoption because of health issues seems as ridiculous to us as giving up our 9 year old child for adoption because we can't keep up with the medical expenses. We work in the service industry, living paycheck to paycheck and our credit is not good enough to get a care credit card that would allow us to make payments. To help us pay for Sampson's surgery, we have set up a ChipIn donation site to raise funds for Sampson's surgery. So please consider donating whatever small amount you can to help keep Sampson with the family that loves him.

Aparently I have a Mixed Type 5cm Hiatus Hernia! I have been suffering dysphagia and heartburn so my GP sent me for an Endoscopy to diagnose why.
This picture is one of two that accompany the report from the Gastroenterologist to my GP. They are form inside me, but apart from that, and that I did not enjoy them being taken, I know nothing about them. Does anyone feel like telling me what we're looking at?

Whenever there is a Live Demo in the operating room (as in they do the surgery in the operating room on the 3rd floor and the view is transferred to our Auditorium in the 8th Floor), the Director of the Hospital always wants me to take pictures of the Guest Doctor performing the surgery and straight away print the pictures to be given as presents.
This time, I'm using Canon 7D with the 18-135mm kit lens the hospital just bought. Usually I used Sony point and shot.
Pretty hard to take pictures with doctors body blocking the view. I only got the light from the Surgical Lamp pointing from above and the room light.
In this image, I tweaked the White Balance using in between 7900K - 10, 000K, just to try out what it'd look like.
Comments are welcome.

(80)
i had to get blood work done, just routine stuff. i'm not dying, although, some days with this hernia, i want to. i found my way to the clinic (with no help from the girl on the other end of the phone). stepped into a very sterile room. on the right a hand sanitizing station, with a machine that labels you with a number. i took the number. walked to the waiting area, passing cubicles for the nurses to conduct business with the people waiting.
i looked around, searching for the most hidden, most out of the way seat. the first one i went to was close to the kids play area. there was a tv playing some annoying cartoon. i decided to try the other end. a tv hung from the ceiling. on it, oprah yammering on about her "ordinary peoples" menopause experience. how these women sitting before her are normal because she went through the same thing. what really caught my eye, and drew me to that spot, was the mountain of magazines on the little white, square table. my fingers barely had time to graze the top of the haphazardly piled papers when i noticed my number flashing up on the sign.
the lady was nice. youngish. she took my papers, wrote some stuff. typed some stuff. while sitting there in the little cubicle meant for privacy, but in reality everyone could hear every word, i noticed hand sanitizer. i really hate that stuff. it's very strong smelling. she told me to sit back down, they'd call me by name next time.
i stood up, another survey of the room. oprah seemed to have calmed down, so back to the mountain of magazines. their only purpose was to keep my eyes busy. my fingers gingerly picked at the top magazine, i suddenly hear my name.
this lady was older. she took me through a doorway in back. a row of sectioned off areas with dentist-y looking chairs. counters for various blood-taking type jobs. she took me to one in the middle. i shed my numerous outer layers and hopped up on the chair. she looked over the sheet to see what i was being tested for, asked me if i ate anything. my mind frantically searched my day. i couldn't remember. my day was filled with pain, that was all i could remember. feeling that any answer but "yes" would get me a big red stamp of FAIL, i said i had. as soon as the words were out of my mouth, i realized it was a lie. i rationed with myself that a coffee and a couple of chocolate covered almonds would be good enough.
while she prepared everything it was that moment that i realized i very strongly did not want to be there. i had to fight the urge to get up and leave. who was to stop me, anyway? there was no "particular" reason for this blood test. i wasn't sick with something mysterious.
but before i could reason with myself to either stay or go, she had the rubber band around my arm and was searching for a vein. as she cleaned the sweet spot, i looked away. "aaaaaannnnnd pinch!" the needle was in, my head and feet pressed against the chair, my right hand grasped the cushiony arm, and i sucked in a lungful of sterile air. i slowly let it out, and she was done.
a smile, i get a cup handed to me. i forgot about this part. i couldn't remember when the last time i peed, surely hours ago. i went to the first bathroom available. 3 drops. one missed. i hope it's enough...
as i step out of the washroom, i come side to side with another nurse. a friendly smile and she motions to where i put the little jar. i set it down, it's the only jar on the counter. seems oddly out of place, as if someone simply forgot it there. followed the corridor out of the clinic, and into the poorly lit and completely empty hallway. nothing left to do but catch a bus and go home.
i get the results thursday evening.
so let's recap the first 15 days of 2009:
i have sleep apnea
i have an inguinal hernia
and i had blood taken.
2009, i really don't know what to think of you.
(last time i had blood taken, the nurse drew a happy face on the band aid. guess 29 is too old for that..)

The 'Hernia' bar!
This 'special' tow bar attachment pins on to the rear chassis eyes and allows the towing of drawbar trailers after lifting the boom upwards as can be seen.
When my first Grandbaby was born with CDH (Congenitial Diaphramatic Hernia) on 18 November 2006, we were devestated. I was already suffering from my illnesses- F.M.S. (Fibromyalgia) and C.F.S. (CFIDS) or (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) which always worstens after August when the Fall & Winter come. I become bedrid for 10 months til the next spring every year, but now, our precious little Gabriel was very ill and needed our support. He had been in 3 hospitals within 3 days in major attempts to save his precious little life. The latter he was helicoptered to at Mass General Hospial in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A. where they could give him better care with a rare, very expensive machine called ECMO & another called C.V. V. H. etc.. This hospial was wonderful and gave him the best care and best chances to live. I didn't even get to meet my precious grandbaby until the 3rd day of his life when he was helicoptered to this hospital. The problem was, my illnesses by November 18, 2006 were in full force causing many other illnesses like Reynaud's disease, Apnea, Restless Leg Syndrome, severe and chronic muscle spasms etc.. as I can't take the cold weather. Now, I had to not just go a hour away to visit my beloved grandbaby Gabriel but 2 plus hours. The high traffic in Boston, being that it was a big city and the fact that they were doing construction on the roads made it even worst and delayed our time to get to the hospital by another hour and sometimes 2 hours. I can't even take a 2 minute ride locally as I am bedrid so this made things very hard on my body. All the stresses and pushing I did, lowered my immune system. I also had been bleeding internally in my stomach area and had great pains there. I was collapsing fast visiting Gabriel but fought real hard not to go in the hospital as I wanted to be there for Gabriel when he had his serious, critical and vital (Life-threatning) operations. He had his first on November 24th or 27th putting all his vital organs back in their proper places & they sealed up the large hernia hole in his diaphram. The operation was successful and we were praising God for our miracle! Now, I couldn't hold out any longer, and did collapse right after the operation, ending up in the hospital myself on 27th of November 2006. They admitted me and did many tests.They put me in a room with a older, sweet lady who was suffering Pneumonia and a bad virus which they shouldn't have done as I have a very low immune system and catch everything and I was already very sick but I was too weak to complain. I stayed there til my birthday- 01 December and should have stayed longer as I was very weak and severely anemic as well but I got news my Grandbaby took a turn for the worst on my birthday and I just had to get out of the hospital to be with him. I discharged myself and went to see my Gabey. On the 3rd day (3rd December), I became very sick with a sinus infection/cold and a virus and it got worst over time despite my medicines I took. I complained to my doctor but she didn't do anything so I just suffered it. By Christmas, I was afraid to see Gabriel because I didn't want to infect him or make him worst as it could kill him so when my visits had become few, far and wide which broke my heart but I had to protect him. When I did see him, I was sterilized and wore a mask, staying away from him and the visits were short, just enough to let him know Grandma was there, and that I love him very much. My mask scared him, and that was hard to take as I love him and didn't want him to be frightened but I had no choice as to protect him. Then December and January passed as I got sicker, and then our beloved Gabriel died. That just took the life out of me while it crushed my heart. We lost several other friends starting the day of Gabriel's funeral, in March I lost my beloved pet Joseph and going all the way into April- Loosing 2 dear friends in April. It was a very rought time. My pets got mysteriously ill, collapsing in pain and spasms from February all the way to July, and I had to tend to them as well. All this stress added to lowering my immune system til I finally collapsed again on 02 July 2007 in the hospital with a severe case of Bronchitis Pneumonia that had gone on way too long that it caused me a new problem- Asthma. I already was suffering my apnea real bad & I also found that I was severely anemic being at 5 when a normal person is supposed to be at 50 and above. I was told by a friend that you need a blood transfusion at 7 and I was much lower than that so I was very sick. I couldn't even lift my head off the pillow and I had no Life in me litterally. I felt like I was dead, and I knew death was near me and it scared me real bad. I was going into major coughing fits, having even apnea in the day which is highly unusual for me and was fighting for my life!! I have never been so scared in my life as I was then! I was so bad, I had trouble breathing even laying down and was so weak, I thought for sure, I would leave this world within the next few weeks if I didn't get help. The hospital put me on breathing machines and gave me meds that eventually made me better- Thank God. Then I was released way too early but that is the way insurances force hospitals to do things now. I would learn after that I was so severely anemic when I visited my doctor and she put me on iron pills. I can't tell you how grateful I was to those things and the breathing machine & meds because finally and slowly Life came back to my body. I honestly can say I know what it feels like to be "dead" as there was no life in me what so ever before I took those pills and got the help from the medicines and machines. It was one of the most scariest times of my life and I don't ever want to go through that again!!! I ended up developing one more problem as my tongue swelled up real bad and it felt like it burned as I became allergic to the Advair which was helping me breathe again. Doctor said I had to stop but sadly there was no other alternative to this medicine so I was really in trouble if I couldn't take it. I was devestated as I couldn't take it yet I couldn't not take it. I decided to not take it except when I had severe episodes on occassions to prevent any swelling and burning and would just take a benadryl if allergic reaction showed- I had no choice. Asthma is nothing to joke about! I suffer it now, since that sickness and my asthma hasn't gone away. It is just as scary when your breathing closes up on you (Like a pillow over your face smothering you with no way to breathe) and when your air passages close up on you! It has made my apnea worst. I never know when it will happen, I could be laughing with you and have a sudden attack, walking casually, even sleeping. What makes it worst is my allergies and I have found they trigger asthma attacks. I get afraid to lie down and sleep as I have woken up from not breathing and have to pound my chest to get my heart started and chest to breathe. Sometimes I can't even move when I awake and I am choking for my life thinking I am going to die as I can't get air no matter how hard I try but Thank our Good Father, it did restart and I was able to breathe again!! I've been blessed that it restarts and I can breathe again, but have to get up and stay sitting up because if I go back to sleep, it stops again. I was yelled at for being a smoker, and I know I have to quit now as It does make it worst, I know that, but I have smoked for 27 years since 1980, and so I am addicted and it is hard. I not only got pleasure from smoking, but it was a working stress reliever for me. A good stress reliever that actually worked and now, I am at a loss on how to replace it. I don't have the money to buy the expensive medicine to help me to quit and rid the addiction so the prescription sits here waiting til I can afford it and then I can join a support group for it. I have done yoga, meditation etc.. since I was about 10 years old, but that is not appropriate out in public when you have stress. My nerves are attacked by Shingles (Chronic adult Chicken Pox) which makes things worst for me so where I used to not let things get to me and was "Happy Go Lucky" sort to speak, I have become sensitive to simple stresses at times, and that is what is making things so difficult to quit because the cigarettes filled the way to relieve that stress. I am determined to quit as I can't bear to suffer this anymore than I have to, it won't make my asthma, apnea, or my chronic bronchitis go away, but it will lessen the episodes, but finding a new way that actually works to relieve stress will be a challenge as without that my shingles will act up more. Shingles causes stress, but also can be caused by stress. It's amazing, how one thing can cause another, and you have to weigh the benefits vs. the harm and now my cigarettes are doing more harm than good. It is horrible how it takes alot of money to get healthy too! Our health care system is not as good as it claims to be and needs alot of work. I am anorexic, need help quitting cigarettes and desperatelyy need a new bed, a breathing machine, and a decent wheelchair as well as some other medical needs and medicines but each month I have to choose which medicines I can afford to buy and what I will go without because the economy is so expensive, and pay hasn't gone up enough to keep up with high rising costs, tho my husband has worked over 20 odd years and even works second and third jobs just to make ends meet. Our back of our house had a leak we didn't know about that caused mold that has contaminated even my bedroom, which we discovered last week, and this is probable cause of all those allergic reactions I have been having and breathing problems, but lack of finances has us binded and we will have to wait til we can afford to try to take a loan out to get it fixed, as priorities must take it's place and I must pay back due medical first. The average working family is struggling in our difficult, overpriced economy- many are loosing their homes and I just pray, that we won't be one of them as well. I know so many already who have lost their homes and some have even split up from the stress of it all. It is very sad to see! I don't know what is to become of our world if it continues on it's path but something has to break, so that the honest, hard-working families can get proper, affordable, medical care and help when they need it so they can continue to lead productive lives as they have always done. If I get sick again, I won't be going into the hospital as I can't afford it and already owe them for 3 back visits I have yet to pay... Breathing is a necessity of life, and had I been able to get proper, immediate, affordable medical care when I needed it way back in December when I first got a sinus infection, then maybe I wouldn't have caught the virus which led into bronchitis which led to bronchitis pneumonia which gave me permanent damage- Asthma on top of my Chronic Apnea! Maybe someday these law makers, and insurance companies and physicians and medical institutions and pharmacies etc..alike, will coordinate with a concience to address these issues seriously and help provide the proper affordable medical care for everyone alike and not just for the wealthy so we can lead normal, as healthy as can be, productive lives instead of all this unnecessary suffering.... I don't mean to sound negative by stating truths about life and the economy the way it is, but I do feel I need to express the truths of what normal hardworking families, retired people, and the disabled must face and live with now a days. Having asthma is tough enough, but being unable to afford the High and ridiculous rising costs of medication in order to survive is even more ridiculous! Asthma can be managable, under the right conditions and care, but yet there are thousands of Americans missing work because of flare ups and the problems with affordable health care... Our Society needs to really get a grip on this because so many responsible people want to work, need to work, and yet they are actually being prevented from leading productive lives because medical care and insurances have gotten over-priced.... Food for thought....

Sampson has been our buddy since 2004. In the winter of 2008, he suffered a severe perineal hernia that required a $2000 surgery to repair it. At the time of the surgery, we were told that due to the severity of the hernia that it was likely to reoccur. As predicted, it has reoccurred and he desperately needs more surgery. Other than the hernia, he is a happy, healthy and active dog who should live to his mid to late teens. Therefore, I cannot in good conscience end his life prematurely. I have also contacted a Corgi rescue in hopes that he could be adopted to a family that is more financially able to care for him. However, since my husband and I can't have children, giving him up for adoption because of health issues seems as ridiculous to us as giving up our 9 year old child for adoption because we can't keep up with the medical expenses. We work in the service industry, living paycheck to paycheck and our credit is not good enough to get a care credit card that would allow us to make payments. To help us pay for Sampson's surgery, we have set up a ChipIn donation site to raise funds for Sampson's surgery.

27th May 2009 - Saw "Surgery Live" today, it's a live surgery shown on Channel 4, and aired live to an auditorium at the Wellcome Trust (which is where I was). Today was Keyhole stomach repair. Keyholes are hard to find.... so a little hole thing in my desk will have to do.
Surgery was EXCELLENT. I get the concept of how to fix a hiatus hernia, it involves a golden finger and a "shoe shine" procedure. :D

David's big morning.... It's almost time to go home!!! No more wires!!!
Mom and Dad spent the night at the hospital with baby in a special room... it's morning and we're getting dressed to go home. Here he's crying about getting changed (as usual). You can see his umbilical hernia. When he's mad his belly button pops out. The pediatrician says it should go away on its own eventually.
Jacob's journey has been happening since March of 2003, when my wife Jackie had a six month ultrasound, that revealed he had a condition called CDH (congenital diaphragmatic hernia). We were told the survival rate was 50/50, and that survivors sometimes had other lasting issues. Jacob was born on 6-6-03, and had CDH repair surgery on 6-10-03. Everything went pretty good, and Jacob was home in 5 weeks. Some other issues were another rare condition called ACC (agensis of the corpus collosum), a neurological condition where the left and right sides of the brain are not connected. This has caused developmental delays, he is a couple of years behind in speech and has been in special ed since he was a few month's old. On Jacob's first birthday, he had to have another surgery to repair an obstructed bowel, caused by scar tissue from his CDH surgery. When Jacob was two, we went on a family vacation to Colorado. On the second day he became very ill, and we brought him to urgent care in Woodland Park, CO. The doctor's look let us know it was serious, they took blood tests, which confirmed he had Leukemia. Jacob spent the next three days at Children's Hospital in Colorado Springs, where he had a couple of blood transfusions, and was stabilized enough to fly home to Minneapolis, and spent the next week at Minneapolis Children's Hospital. Jacob has been taking chemo for the last three years, during this time he has also started wearing a back brace for scoliosis. It has been quite a journey, this month he started Kindergarten, and in October is expected to be declared cancer free. I created this collage for that moment.

Abdominal hernias occur when an organ or other piece of tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. The sac or bulge that protrudes from the weak spot may contain either a part of the intestine or a piece of the fatty lining of the colon (called the omentum). This typically occurs with hernias located in the abdominal wall or in the groin.
If the hernia occurs in the diaphragm, the muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen, the upper part of the stomach may penetrate the weak area.
Your abdomen is made up of layers upon layers of different muscle groups, tissues, and organs. It is possible that with age, prior surgeries, past injuries, new injuries, or medical conditions your abdominal muscle strength and support may become compromised. Weak spots may develop in these layers allowing the contents of your abdominal cavity to protrude or herniate. The most common hernias include an inguinal hernia which occurs in the groin, a hiatal hernia (herniated diaphragm), and an umbilical hernia, which occurs in the belly button. Some hernias may be congenital (present at birth), or they may be acquired (happening at any point in your life).
Abdominal and Pelvic Floor Hernias
Inguinal Hernias
Groin hernias are the most common hernia to occur in both men and women. Of the groin hernias, there are two different types: inguinal hernia and a femoral hernia. Statistically, almost all groin hernias are inguinal.
Inguinal hernias occur when part of your intestine protrudes through a weak spot in your lower belly. This affects what is known as the inguinal canal.

Of the inguinal hernias, there are type different types:
Indirect: Hernia that enters the inguinal canal
Direct: Hernia that does not enter the inguinal canal
Most people develop this type of hernia due to improper lifting mechanics when lifting weights or other heavy objects.
Inguinal hernias are more common in men, yet are not limited to adults either. The primary characteristic of an inguinal hernia is a lump or bulge located on either side of the pubic bone when the thigh meets the groin. You may notice this more when you cough, stand, or strain and may be painful during these activities. The lump may also disappear when you lay down.
It is important to note that one of the primary dangers of an inguinal hernia is strangulated. Although many hernias are asymptomatic and can be managed without experiencing much pain, a strangulated hernia can cause severe pain, nausea, vomiting, and may inhibit your ability to perform a bowel movement. If this ever occurs, it is important to seek immediate medical attention.
Femoral Hernias
A femoral hernia typically occurs through an opening in the abdominal floor in a space that allows for the femoral artery and vein to pass from the abdomen and into the upper leg. Femoral hernias are a groin hernia that tend to occur more frequently in women than men due to their wider pelvic structure.
Like an inguinal hernia, a femoral hernia may pose potentially life-threatening health risks. Femoral hernias are dangerous because they are often asymptomatic until you need immediate medical attention. If you notice a lump around the crease of your groin or in the upper thigh, it is best to have a doctor take a look at it.
Obturator Hernias
Obturator hernias are the least common of the three pelvic floor, lower abdominal hernias. However, they are commonly found in postpartum people who have experienced multiple pregnancies or in people who have lost significant weight. The obturator canal (another connection between the abdomen and the leg) may herniate causing the obturator artery, vein, and nerve to protrude into the upper leg of the individual.
Anterior Abdominal Wall Hernias
Your abdominal wall is made up of two sets of mirrored muscle groups on either side of your body. These muscle groups include the rectus abdominis muscles (your 6-pack), the internal and external obliques, and the transversalis muscles.
Umbilical Hernia
An umbilical hernia is the second most common hernia. They typically occur more often in children, but can affect adults as well. Umbilical hernias occur when fat or part of the intestine pushes through the muscles near the belly button.
Women are more likely than men to get an umbilical hernia. Your chances are also higher if you:
In adults, an umbilical hernia is more common in women. You may be at a higher risk of an umbilical hernia if you are:
overweight
experienced multiple pregnancies
have a chronic cough
enlarged prostate that causes strain when urinating
chronic constipation
chronic vomiting
Umbilical hernias are often asymptomatic as well and, in newborns, typically resolve on their own by the time the child is one. Surgical treatment may only be necessary if the hernia becomes too large or strangulated.
Epigastric Hernia
Epigastric hernias occur due to a weakness or compromised midline in the rectus abdominis muscles (also known as the linea alba) between the breastbone and the belly button. Often, the weakness goes unnoticed until later in life and may result in herniated pieces of bowel, fat, or omentum (fatty lining of the colon). Epigastric hernias may be mistaken as diastasis recti, another condition affecting the rectus abdominis and linea alba.
Spigelian Hernia
A spigelian hernia is very rare and typically occurs on the outside of the rectus abdominis muscles.
Incisional Hernia
An incisional hernia is another common type of hernia that may occur due to a prior abdominal surgery. Although during a surgical procedure the muscles are typically repaired, the stress of the surgery and the scarring may present as a weak spot in the abdominal wall, thus, allowing part of an organ or tissues to herniate through the incision.
Diaphragmatic Hernias
Hiatal Hernias
A hiatal hernia is different from the aforementioned types of hernias. A hiatal hernia involves a weakening or compromised section of the diaphragm, a sheet of muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen. In this same area of your body, your esophagus passes through into an opening in the diaphragm.
A hiatal hernia occurs when a part of the upper stomach herniates through the diaphragm. In most cases, a lump is not apparent, but you may experience several painful or uncomfortable symptoms: heartburn, chest pain, or you may even experience a sour taste in your mouth.
Hiatal hernias are more common in pregnant women or in people 50 and older. If your symptoms are causing you pain, lifestyle changes or prescription antacids or drugs may help ease symptoms of acid reflux. In some cases, however, you may never feel any pain or discomfort.
Paraesophageal Hernias
Paraesophageal hernias can be extremely dangerous. These occur when part of the stomach herniates into the diaphragm alongside the esophagus. This may cause a bowel obstruction or lead to volvulus (a twisting of the stomach).
Traumatic Diaphragmatic Hernias
A traumatic diaphragmatic hernia usually occurs as a result of a blunt force injury to the left side of the chest and diaphragm. An injury to this side of the chest may lead to compromised muscle strength and lead to a herniation of the organs in this location. They typically do not occur on the right side as the liver protects digestive organs from herniating.

Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernias
Congenital diaphragmatic hernias are very rare and caused by a malformed diaphragm during fetal development. This may lead to incomplete lung function and a herniation of the chest organs through the diaphragm.
It is important to note that hernias typically do not resolve on their own and may pose life-threatening health risks if not treated properly. If you believe you may have a hernia or are experiencing severe symptoms or pain, talk with your doctor right away.
Sampson has been our buddy since 2004. In the winter of 2008, he suffered a severe perineal hernia that required a $2000 surgery to repair it. At the time of the surgery, we were told that due to the severity of the hernia that it was likely to reoccur. As predicted, it has reoccurred and he desperately needs more surgery before 2012. Other than the hernia, he is a happy, healthy and active dog who should live to his mid to late teens. Therefore, I cannot in good conscience end his life prematurely. I have also contacted a Corgi rescue in hopes that he could be adopted to a family that is more financially able to care for him. However, since my husband and I can't have children, giving him up for adoption because of health issues seems as ridiculous to us as giving up our 9 year old child for adoption because we can't keep up with the medical expenses. We work in the service industry, living paycheck to paycheck and our credit is not good enough to get a care credit card that would allow us to make payments. To help us pay for Sampson's surgery, we have set up a ChipIn donation site to raise funds for Sampson's surgery. So please consider donating whatever small amount you can to help keep Sampson with the family that loves him. If you can't make a donation, please pass this info along to friends who may be able to help. Sampson, his Corgi buddies Shiloh & Rusty and his human family thank you!

11.11.11 Update: A big thank you to all you wonderful flickr friends! We've received several generous donations from flickr members pushing us over the 13% mark of our goal. Since I've been promoting Sampson's photos, I've found several of them used on websites & blogs. I hold a creative commons license because I'm not a professional photographer and if people like my photos and want to use them, I don't want them to be limited by an exorbitant fee. However, I have a pup in trouble and he needs your help, so, if you like my Corgi photos or save them as favorites, please donate $1; if you use any of my Corgi or animal photos on your website or blog, please donate $5 to: corgisampson.chipin.com/sampson-the-corgis-hernia-surgery...
It's a small price to pay compared to a pro's fee, and it helps a much loved dog in need. Again, we appreciate all efforts & donations, and Sampson & the Corgi Clan thank you!

Whenever there is a Live Demo in the operating room (as in they do the surgery in the operating room on the 3rd floor and the view is transferred to our Auditorium in the 8th Floor), the Director of the Hospital always wants me to take pictures of the Guest Doctor performing the surgery and straight away print the pictures to be given as presents.
This time, I'm using Canon 7D with the 18-135mm kit lens the hospital just bought. Usually I used Sony point and shot.
Pretty hard to take pictures with doctors body blocking the view. I only got the light from the Surgical Lamp pointing from above and the room light.
The Kit lens can reach the object in quite the distance, which amazed me. This maxed out the 135mm.
In this image, I tweaked the White Balance using 2500K (as suggested by Joe McNally's Hot Shoes Diaries).
Comments are welcome.
