On 30 April 2021, my mom and I went to Point Reyes National Seashore in Inverness, CA for a day trip. We did an out and back round trip walk to Tomales Point and back via Tomales Point Trail. I took both cellphone photos and photos with my mirrorless camera. The photos are split into 3 blog posts. I hope you enjoying viewing these photos.

In this part, I have photos from my walk from the parking lot to Tomales Point. The photos are taken on Tomales Point Trail.
Message from the photographer: I know it has been a really long time since I did a blog post like this with photos shot on a "real camera" (photos not taken with my cellphone). The vision loss from visual snow syndrome is still a huge problem, making it challenging for me to do stuff like this. That being said, there are only 2 more blog posts with "real" photos after this one (photos not taken with my cellphone), because the vision loss has limited my mobility, my ability to take photos, and my ability to process the photos afterwards. There are very little photos from my "real camera" left in my archives which is the reason for the limited amount of blog posts. I do hope to take a bit more soon (and this hope might not be too far off, read my next update).
Update on my vision: This will just be a very quick update on my vision. Hopefully, I'll get around to doing a more detailed, and dedicated blog post for this soon. I've had a few people on social media ask me what the experimental visual snow treatment that I've been doing is. Some visual snow patients don't know about the Visual Snow Project (VSP). VSP is an experimental visual snow syndrome (VSS) treatment developed by the Visual Snow Initiative. At the time of writing, I'm half way through the treatment, and I accidentally missed a few days when I got too busy, and I missed a few days when I got depressed. The treatment has not touched my night blindness, but my day time vision has partially recovered. My day time vision is still not normal, but it has been less disabling. If you suffer from VSS like me, I recommend you give VSP a try. The treatment can be done on your computer, and it's only half an hour out of your day for 3 weeks. Even if the treatment doesn't completely cure you, being able to recover some of your vision is still better than nothing.
