Ellipsis Monday Photo Shoot #88: Upside Down

Carly gave us an easy assignment this week. Well, according to her, at least.

EMPS # 88: Upside Down.
Here is an easy assignment. Simply find something that is UPSIDE DOWN and photograph it. It's all up to you what the object is. Big. Small. Old. New. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

I wanted to try to get some reflection shots, but I never got around to it. But, since I was washing some wine glasses I came up with these. One is with flash and one without flash. I'm not a fan of the lighting in the flash, but I wanted to try it out. Our kitchen is kind of dark in the evening so I thought I'd have a better chance of getting a good shot with flash.

That's all I did for this week. Check out Carly's blog for the other entries.

Weekend Assignment #270: Magic wishes

This week we get one-and-a-half wishes from Karen. She wants to know what we would change about ourselves if we could. With some minor exceptions.

Weekend Assignment #270: You've been given the magical opportunity to change just one thing about yourself, instantly and painlessly. There is no going back; whatever change you make is permanent, aside from normal aging. What would you change - or would you choose to stand pat? (Please note that this is a change to yourself, not the world around you. Also, I'm disallowing weight loss, because it's just too obvious.)

I thought about this for a little while. I came up with two that Karen also came up with, so I'll go with a different one than she did. I'd get rid of the need for glasses. I'm tired of them. They get bent out of shape after a while and become uncomfortable. You can't wear sunglasses with them, at least the kind I would like to wear. Sure, there are prescription sunglasses, and I have them, but it's a pain to change them all the time. And, no, I don't like the ones that get dark when you go outside; they never seem like they get light enough inside.

I also have a big problem picking out frames. I can spend hours in there trying to decide which make me look the least dorky. Or, on the other hand, the ones that don't make me look like I think I'm too cool for anyone around me. You know the type I'm talking about.

I've worn contacts in the past, but I can't anymore. For some reason my eyes get extremely dry at work, and since I spend a lot of time there, why get them and suffer? I should also mention I'm terrified of LASIK surgery. Yes, I know the odds are low that I would have a problem, but they aren't zero!

Extra Credit: If you could change two things, what would the second thing be?

For the extra credit, I'd go with allergies like Karen. They suck. And this year has been suckier than normal. (Yes, that is a word. In my dictionary.)
