The Rollei look. Nice work.
Yes!
Could become your look - even after full recovery.

Lovely photographs and a brilliant reason for adopting the new shooting position, and the very best of luck in your healing!

Often times those waist level shots give an interesting view of things, just like getting down on bender knee does. When people see someone with a camera at their eye they know they’re being watched. They don’t suspect anything when shooting from the hip.
Remember when we were kids and we laughed at those old folks talking endlessly about their aches, pains, doctor visits and so on. It’s sobering when we realize that now we are those old folks complaining. No one ever said growing old was fun!

I recently got a pacemaker. I am doing fine. It feels like I am 65 again. Since I need to keep my left arm below my shoulder(I am right handed) for a few more weeks, I decided to take photos with the camera at waist level or lower.
I took these this morning on the nature path near our new home in Georgia.
I used a Panasonic LX10, a compact camera with a flip out screen.

Really works for you, Dean! In (almost) no time you’ll be back on track, and very good luck to you!

Both are terrific; keep up the great work for the next few weeks; after that, who knows!

Keep up the good work, and do what the MD orders. The therapy time will go by quickly, and you'll be better than ever.

The day after I got home the boy and I went for a 2/3 mile walk. Yes, I was tired. Every day after that I’d walk 1/2-1 mile. Bent over picking up smaller pieces of fire wood in each hand, stood up to load them. At first I’d be tired and have to go lay down after a strenuous workout, but I got stronger every day. When rehab time came, the doctor said I didn’t need it. Since I started out with a new deductible, rehab was going to be $200 a week, so I saved myself a bunch of money.
My recommendation is to do all that you can without feeling worse afterwards. Not as in tired, but nothing that causes pain. Be careful pulling heavy sliding doors closed or anything that might break where they sawed your breastbone. The doctors were surprised at how fast and well I healed up. I attribute it to doing all I could without over doing it. The doc said the worst thing you can do is not enough, which will slow the healing process.
