This Dr. literally CUT my eyes out: RAWtalk 143 an interview with my Eye Dr.

Eyes, they are so very integral to every day life and even more so when your business revolves around seeing the world and capturing it. Many people don’t know that I was born with an eye condition that causes my eyes to shake which in turn hurts my vision.

I have been seeing one of the best eye doctors in the world named Harold P. Koller since I was a small child. In fact he did surgery on me that involved cutting the muscles in my eyes and relocating them into another position.

I’ve always wanted to sit down with Dr. Koller for a discussion because I know he can pass along some fantastic information. This interview isn’t just about my eyes, it’s about how you should be taking care of yours. What are the warning signs to look out for to determine if there may be an eye issue and what to do if that happens. Check out the interview at 51:58 to hear out entire discussion.

This weeks episode is brought to you by TOKINA. Tokina is a lens manufacture with deep roots into lens manufacturing. They make consumer glass, professional glass as well as super high end optics for the movie industry. I got to hold onto one of their cinematic lenses at NAB this year and all I can say is WOW what a fantastic hunk of glass. They may not have the largest lineup of lenses but the ones they do have are worth a peak. They just released a 24-70 2.8 lens that if you’re tight on cash and need a killer full frame lens this one could be for you. Check it out right here http://bit.ly/1I3AEVt

Stephen brings us the weeks “Photo NEWS” each episode where he takes the largest stories around and shares them. Todd is back this week with his commentary and we continue to test out the GoPro Hero4 Session on his angle.

Gear of the week this weeks brings us the Tilta by Ikan which is an affordable rig if you are in the market for one. It’s not the cheapest and it’s not the most expensive, it falls right in the middle and may be the right fit for you. BorrowLenses was kind enough to send me out a Canon XC10 to test out, so we discuss that and a few more things.

Wheel Of FRO got spun but I honestly didn’t have a name prepared which means I will pick two people for next weeks episode. One will spin the wheel FRESH and the other will win the LEXAR prize from this week.
