[Leica] IMG: It's Full of Stars

[tedgrant at shaw.ca (tedgrant at shaw.ca)]

If any of you folks have your "LUG 2009 YEAR BOOK" handy look on the back 
cover as there's a picture of my left and only workable eyeball during a 
cataract removal! Captured off a computer screen while the good doc is doing 
his magic! :-)

Now that was an incredible photographic experince with the most amazing 
colours you can ever imagine.

All during the operation I kept thinking, "WOW! Beautiful colours! If I 
could only shoot that!" :-) Helped pass the time. :-)
cheers,
Dr. ted :-)
