INTERVIEW WITH ARTHUR BENJAMIN: A Symfony for your eyes (part 2)

Published: May 12, 2017

So what is this revolutionary technology, again? Regular multifocal lenses are diffractive. Loosely speaking, 40% of the light is for viewing far objects, 40% is for near, and 20% is lost along with contrast. Conventional multifocal lenses are actually bifocal, because they are good both near and far but are problematic with mid-distances – the … Continue reading INTERVIEW WITH ARTHUR BENJAMIN: A Symfony for your eyes (part 2) →

How I Saw Six-and-a-Half Moons

Published: April 28, 2017

At the time, I lived in an unpleasant area of Los Angeles. I didn’t like anything about it: the ugly apartment buildings, the noise, dirty sidewalks, and neighbors’ faces… even the moon annoyed me. One evening, though, I noticed that the moon wasn’t alone; there were three pale moons in the sky. If you counted … Continue reading How I Saw Six-and-a-Half Moons →

A BODY IN THE RIVER

Published: April 22, 2017

Ida Sessions: Are you alone? Jake Gittes: Isn’t everybody? If I was stuck on a deserted island and allowed to bring along five movies, one of those would be Chinatown by Roman Polanski.

The Patio del Moro

Published: March 30, 2017

The Patio del Moro. Sounds beautiful, doesn’t it? It is the rare case where the sound of something matches its content. I could spend hours looking at this house in West Hollywood (if only it paid to meditate); perhaps they’d agree to let me stand across the street, although sitting is even better. And thanks to … Continue reading The Patio del Moro →

Wow, what a huge difference a short 15 minutes makes! Having spent so much of my life helpless without my glasses and inconvenienced by an expensive contacts routine -- suddenly I could see, and with minimal down-time.
