Very Interesting Realization

I noticed something very interesting today.  I’m not sure why I never noticed it before.  It is something that got me to thinking that’s for sure.

For those of you that do not know, I was in the military many years back.  I, of course, shot my M16 assault rifle during that time.  The eye that I used to aim and find my target was my right.  I believe that is typical of right handed folks.

I am also a photographer.  I have been taking photos for years.  So why is it that today I notice that I look into the viewfinder with my left eye?  Yes, I take photos using my left eye instead of my right.  Why is that?

My mind conjured up a bunch of stuff as to why this is.  One thing in particular was that my right eye is my ‘killing’ eye and my left eye is my ‘creative’ eye.  If I want to destroy then my right eye is the one to go to.  If I want to create then it’s my left.  This is the only path where my mind went today.  Tomorrow may be a different story.

So the next time you talk to me just be mindful of which eye is giving you ‘the look’.  Just a thought.  Lol.
