I DID DO IT

When the sun is shining in the arctic in the summer – it’s strong. Very strong. There I am closer to the sun. Don’t look into the sun! Its danger. Danger. Danger. The binoculars, always on the windowsill, make the sun even larger and stronger and more dangerous. I know very well I can't look at the sun through those. Danger. My eyes could be damaged, in a second. Still, I always wanted to. The binocular are still there on the windowsill. Don’t do it, don’t do it. I did not do it. I did not. Never. I wanted to, but did not, did not do it. Again and again. For several days , when the sky was clear that summer. Through the 8 mm lens. That summer, 2010, I did it. Shot several 8 mm films, three minutes each. It was painful. But I did it. I looked at the sun; it was due to the lens now a small ball, after a while I had to shift to the other eye and back again, but I DID DO IT.
