Intrigued by Eye Colors ....Amber Eyes or Wolf eyes

Welcome to Rear Window




Lately, I've been reading up on  eye color articles. I never knew Amber was considered a type of color for brown. I always thought eye color was brown ,blue,and green that's it. I was wrong ! Apparently, Amber eyes are rarest eyes including green, grey,black and violet. Amber colored eyes are most common in South Asia and South America's. Amber eyes have lipochrom which is also in green eyes which give pale color of green almost grey flecks and ripples.Amber eyes get confused  with hazel because hazel has similar make- up. I had no idea I had really cool eyes. I always thought, Eh poop color eyes. I found a diverse  eye color chart that you can see which category your eyes might fall in

Catpiration Catography Model named "Cat"

Welcome to Rear Window
Edited into B&W


Original

Hello Fellas  
Today I have my lovely black cat "Cat" as my model. I posted a b&w photo with the original. I set the ISO 1600  to compensate for the time of day I was taking the picture. I increased the contrast to give  deeper rich black  tweaked the temperature,hue/tint ,and last the saturation to make the picture b&w.

Meanwhile.... 
Can you guess which movie "cat" got her name?
...........



You guessed right It's from  "Breakfast At Tiffany's".

Great News For My Son .... Even If You Aren't A Parent.





Great News for Harvard


     Yesterday, at work I received a call from Harvard's pediatrician  that Harvard's insurance is covering all his Rehab  physical  therapy,feeding therapy,and occupational therapy. As a parent  its been a struggle to get Harvey to eat regular foods he doesn't put anything in his mouth for the sake of curiosity. Part of me feels guilty cause its my first time  I don't know what the heck I am doing. Least I know for the next time around get proactive read the baby handouts from the doctor. I feel I failed as a parent that his only reason for going to these rehabilitation's cause I lacked  in making sure he reached his milestones.
     I am going to change as a parent. I am only going to be  on Internet devices while hes sleeping nap/bedtime. I am going to devout my time to my son. I am no longer going to slave away  my time to my tablet,phone,and Ipod. Clearly It's the reason my son has to do these  therapy's. I  feel ashamed as a parent for being really selfish  not taking the time  For

my son who can emotionally reward me as to giving my time to a device that can't  give me such a reward.
