Shiner

West Virginia

I know this isn't SP Friday, but I wanted to capture this in all its glory. This is not make up. :)

And I know I'm a bit of a redneck but it wasn't from a fight either. I was pulling a box off a shelf and the whole stack toppled onto me, pushing my glasses into my eye. You can see the cut at the corner.

Olympus C-5050Z
1/50s f/2.0 at 7.1mm iso64 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Yikes!!! You are so lucky that didn't damage the eye itself, but still, this looks painful. Excellent shot, however. V

That's a beaut! I hope that it is not hurting anymore!

There is such an assumption that comes with a shiner. We will vouch for you Karen !!

Brave of you to take a photo so close. That looks as though it really hurts!

I think you've got a good enough shiner for the both of us, dear.
Da*n that looks like it hurts, and not just below your eye. Must have caught a corner too.
Now, my coach says the best thing to do is get up, and get back into the ring, rofl!

Any other good news? Keep your sense of humor.

Oh my, I'm surprised you can open your eye that wide. Accidents do happen to all of us. Feel better.
Guest 17-May-2005 11:37
Tough luck! But accidents can happen to anybody. Great SP!
