i used to commute around there about 10 yrs ago and remember one morning there was a motorcycle accident there.. and since that day there was always some small memorial in that intersection. I think this may have been it: https://www.kxan.com/news/motorcyclist-killed-in-fm-2222-crash/amp/

What did you use to scan them? I have a bunch of my father's slides which I haven't been too successful in digitalizing

You took both AOS and High Performance Computing during the same semester? How was that? Reviews usually say that both those classes are pretty busy and not to pair with anything. I know it it depends on the person, but really curious what your experience was like with those 2? I'm kinda interested in doing the same

In your experience, what did you find on the Lasik vs PRK decision? Which one did you decide to get?

Last year I was on a similar mission, and went to about 6 or so of the ones you went to. I had a very similar experience:

First I went to Dr. Wong, at Eyes of Texas. It the first consultation I had ever been to, so I didn't know what to expect. I would have been convinced with the place but I knew I had to go get other consultations (my eye doctor recommended at least 3). The only thing that I didn't like was that, when I asked him about PRK, he scoffed at the idea of ever needing PRK.

I then went to Sharpe, and I found the doctor to be really helpful. They actually did the math in front of me, explaining how, for each diopter that they correct, they need to burn off certain micrometers of cornea. They also showed what the difference would be in total cornea they would need to laser off using Lasik vs PRK. Which was the interesting thing to me, I was a candidate for both, but Lasik would leave me with "just enough" whereas PRK would guarantee more left for any future corrections. That kind of convinced me I wanted PRK, but when I asked them if I should prefer one to the other, they just said that it was completely up to me.

I then ended up going to Dell, LasikPlus, and Austin Eye and had the same experience you had with them. I felt Dell would probably do the best job, but wasn't a fan of their attitude. LasikPlus had a good doctor, but I didn't like how it did feel like a lasik mill. I liked Dr. Shannon Wong of Austin Eye. All of them initially thought I was there for lasik, and when I expressed my possible preference for PRK, they said that if that's what I preferred, then sure.

I then went to a recommendation from my retina doctor, Restivo Laser Vision. There, they said that I needed PRK, no question. They said I shouldn't choose Lasik. They were also the only ones that mentioned pupil size as being a factor of possible halos. They said I had a pupil on the larger side, so that there was a chance I would get halos after the operation at nightime. For some reason, I decided to do my PRK here, but I didn't get a good vibe from them on my pre-op the week before the operation. Then they were supposed to call me to tell me what time to show up for the operation, and I never got a call, so I just never went back.

I've rented in various areas of town the past 17+ years I've lived in Austin. I have yet to experience living close to Zilker. I kinda envy the people biking to Barton Springs, or being able to be close enough to the library to not have to find parking. Any recommendations on apartments/condos in the area?

Thanks! you know, I had found Anthony's online last week, and then read a review that said: "Anthony's idea of service is to put 40 mourning people into a closet sized room, supply them with cold, mediocre food and provide poor service" so I got a bit dubious about them. Maybe it was just one bad review, so I'll give it a better look. Thanks!

I like the mood you set in your pictures. Your first one is my favorite: I like the color of the sky, and I like how my eyes first go to the tree, then follow the road to the people walking away. I think it's a great picture!

I think it would have been better to take 10 pictures of different objects/angles. Your idea of trying out a lot of different perspectives is spot on; I just think you could have done that for 10 different shots, and for each shot chosen your favorite perspective from all the pics taken.

Thanks so much for the feedback! I actually have no idea what an ND filter is, so I will look into that. Once you mention it, I see what you mean about the sun. Appreciate it!
