Parkinson’s Photography
Posted by David LeMaster on Mar 12, 2010 in Day-to-Day |
When I was diagnosed with Early Onset Parkinson’s, I realized I could do one of two things: give up, or live life. I began doing things I always wanted to do–and one of them was to work with photography.
And it ain’t easy.
The adventure began with an Olympus pocket-camera to take snapshots. It had “image stabilization” capability, but one problem remained: you could only choose that capability alone. Any other special ability (night shooting, closeups, etc.) had to be disabled to get the stablization effect. While that may work for some people, for a Parkinson’s patient, the image stabilization must be on all the time.
