For me, the quotidian, the everyday object, the simple "golden" composition of basic shapes crossing, in photos, can be indescribably beautiful (to me. As for my photos...not necessarily riveting stuff for others). The glasses start to make me feel that in little compositions framed just with my eyes while walking the dogs.

Also, I can read signs better.

I went into glasses at 9 and remember telling everyone how "clean" everything looked. I figured out later I was reacting to the crispness of lines, and the sharpness of the appearance of everything. I had gotten used to the blurry sort of underwater effect that I perceived my world through
