The Other Side *

Every week I have to set up my meds. I have my morning noon and night pill boxes, each with a week's worth of containers. This really helps me keep to my regimen. Parkinson's Disease makes either a tripod or an IS lens necessary for most of my shots. Here I used a tripod.

Geez Jeff, looks familiar. My Dad had Parkinsons. He was huge on walking. It seems exercise is key so I hope you're getting plenty. He used to walk about 6 miles a day, to church and back. He got it in his fifties and lived to 75. He walked like he had jets in his heels! LOL! It wasn't until one day that he tripped and fell, a year or two before he passed away, that my Mom made him stop walking to church. After that was when his legs stiffened. So just keep movin' baby! Remember the laws of physics; a body in motion tends to stay in motion! ;) Thanks for letting us in. :) BTW, I've never heard it mentioned anywhere, but one look at Ozzie Ozborne and I swear he's got it. The distintive circular tremor and the posture... right? ~ Lonnit

Thanks for your comments. I think you're right. I may try to reshoot before the deadline.

You show a strenght by sharing this with us. Thanks. Photo-wise my approach would probably been the same as ISO. Or maybe working with foreground - background, short dof. /Jonas

Very intimate Jeff. I might have approached this from a more closeup/macro type shot so the actual pills have more presence, again to reflect the intimacy of the commentary. Or I could be talking rubbish ;-)
