Happy Mothers Day

For the mothers who make a difference in your life. Thank you for my mother who had supported me for my interest into photography. All of my craft was catalyzed from my mother’s support.

With each these pictures I was contemplated of the frame, the choice of focus and light. I preferred to use longer depth of the foreground to background. Having multiple colors for a frame allowed the camera to properly give a deeper color depth. in addition to supplementing the sun with a flash.

May you be enjoying your time with your mother sharing the love of what she has ment to you.

» Endocarditis

I had recently visited my cardiologist at the University of Washington to get a baseline of my heart.

During the stroke debacle, the doctos had noticed endocarditis vegetating on my aortic heart valve. As I mentioned earlier on my oral hygiene, I have to take antibiotics to prevent any foreign matter from entering my circulatory system and wreak havoc on the weaken valve.

For the doctor appointment I had an echocardiogram. I will share the results once I receive my copy of them. 

My cardiologist shared her thoughts after viewing my current echos in comparison to my previous ones. She was as stumped as my Boston doctors of the current status of my heart. My ejection fraction of the blood flow is mild but one of my heart verticals is enlarged which usually indicates a lower ejection fraction.

She told me that my murmur of the negative blood flow is “classic,” and that my heart is ideal for demonstrating for medical students what a murmur sounds like.

My doctor suggested to take an MRI on my heart to have a better visual resolution to see if there are more indicators of the enlargement. She has three possible culprits of the vertical enlarging: genetics, the stroke, and or the doctors had under estimate my true ejection fraction.

Despite the fragility of my heart, my cardiologist still encourages me to exercise at a cardiovascular level. While counter intuitive, my heart ejection fraction at a cardio zone is able to maintain a more efficient ejection fraction. On my Boston stress echocardiogram, my at rest ejection fraction was ~55%, while a 135bpm exercise increased the percentage to 65%. In reference, a normal fraction is 58%.

While I am not encouraged to run a marathon, I am now able to exercise to extend my heart’s life. My doctor had given me three symptoms to be concerned of for my heart.

  1. Don’t over exert my heart by lifting heavy weight that shortens my breath
  2. Experiencing fatigue on activities that are normally easier for me
  3. Edema - build up of fluid in my angle

Oral Hygiene My dentist had offered a new treatment for my mouth. Despite my diligence, my gum has always been fragile against foreign flora. This condition forced a graft surgery on my lower gum in an early age. The stage is more peril due to my earlier stroke. My decided to chose a more aggressive approach to my oral hygiene was due to the complication of my ITP which instigated my hemorrhagic stroke. The concentration for capillaries within the mouth spawn a prime gateway into the circulatory system. While this test did not try to measure the bacteria strep, which complicated my heart valve, I am hedging that similar strains would vie for my heart. With these surprising findings, I had 2 strains of bacteria in my mouth. The high risk was tannerella forsythia (Tf). Not with standing the test being 2 hours after my oral cleaning, including my own hygiene attentiveness. I am now in the process of a regimen of a two stage rinses which includes a pressurized application beyond the swishing.

Time is Eternal After nearly one year since meeting at the Kauffman in Kansas City, Lina and I had met in Vancouver. My parents had asked me what word would capture the trip. Wonderful really resonated with me. Meeting Lina felt as a gift for the patience we both had after that year without seeing each other. It made our time together more cherished. The time made me more reflective and thoughtful for the moments we had. It made me mentally prepare pictures that I wanted to capture the feelings of our meeting. I surprised myself, as once I viewed the pictures on the LCD I just stared dumbfounded with an ear widened smile. When Lina saw the pictures, she told me that my camera made reality more beautiful then it appeared. I beamed and told her what makes the difference is the photographer whose message is abel to convey the personality through time into a simple rectangle of random pixels. I am so grateful for my parents for their support, and for Lina to explore a foreign country with me. Thank you for allowing me to share that memory with you.

A Costly Learning Lesion

When I was taking some pictures of products I was selling on eBay, I inadvertently placed my memory card incorrectly to the camera. With just a light force, this push damaged 2 pins of the card slot. These small delicate pins crippled my camera to the point it could not operate at all. The camera could not operate at all. 

To have these delicate pins repaired, I had to take the camera to a specialists to maintain my warranty. Due to the complexity of modern DSLR cameras, several components had to be removed to expose the damaged pins. This complexity cost me about a third of the camera original price for only two small pins.

I will now be much more conscious when I operate my memory cards and camera. My weakness was being distracted while I was trying to place my memory card in my camera. Without the proper orientation, you will damage the small pin for a memory card to be read in any device, not just a camera.

Now my camera and I can relate to each other with our own memory components having surgery for saving our lives.

I have to give a huge gratitude for Photo-Tronics in Seattle, which was able to repair my camera within days after my operation faux pas. If you are ever in the same situation, Photo-Tronics will have a faster turnaround than the camera manufactory, maintain the equipments warranty, and not pay shipping to the item.

In the past, Photo-Tronics was also able to repair my parents old film camera which was just falling apart due to old age. They were able to make it operate like brand new. If you are in the Western Washington, you may give them a call for your own faux pas.
