But it's like a painting -- you think it's finished, you put it in the frame ... then realize it needs some tweaking...

Oh, and 10 points for irony that my " ^ ... " post started a new page :sigh:

on the subject of vertigo, and how to overcome it
http://www.thisblogrules.com/2012/01/rooftop-photos-that-will-make-you-dizzy.html

simple solution: just challenge yourself to take a series of photos at increasingly high/dangerous locations in your local city or town!

Uhh, vertigo, being a medical condition, won't be overcome by dangling from the tops of tall buildings (although it will probably stop because you'll lose your balance and fall and die, and then ta-da, no more vertigo).  A fear of heights, on the other hand, can be overcome by challenging oneself.

However, standing on the edge of a ten storey building without any safety equipment just to say that you can stand on the edge of a ten storey building doesn't necessarily make sense.

Sorry, I use the word "vertigo" as a general term for even mild woozy response to moderate heights. Not as a clinical diagnosis of a serious medical condition.


better to experience vertigo (in the general sense ;) ) than to have a damaged amygdala, life as a Vulcan would actually really really suck!
