Into the dark

I always find that the kitchen is an interesting place to take photos, often because of the lighting conditions. For example, I noticed these really dark shadows when I reached in for a fork today. Now I've talked a lot about light in my previous posts, but not so much about darkness.

You know, one of my greatest fears in life is losing my vision. But then when you lose your vision, apparently all you see is black. Like, no light, just black. It's just a really scary concept, especially when my future will most likely depend a lot on my eyes. Just try to imagine waking up every morning and it stays pitch black out all day long. I suppose one would eventually adjust, but the initial trauma would be incredible. I just don't know what I would do.
