Asbury Park, NJ – 2013 CLICK TO ENLARGE<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here is a picture I took with my iPhone. I used the panorama option. The scene is the Asbury Park, NJ boardwalk in August, 2013.<\/p>\n

I was admiring the pretty color of the sky and wishing I was in Asbury Park right now. I love that town.<\/p>\n

Something in the photo caught my eye. Actually, something NOT in the photo caught my eye. Here it is. Or should I say, here it isn’t?<\/p>\n

THAT MAN’S LEFT LEG IS MISSING BELOW THE KNEE!<\/p>\n

He is not using crutches. He has no prosthetic device. His leg is simply gone from the picture. Chopped off by the amazing Apple amputation app! <\/p>\n

As far as I can figure, it defies the laws of physics for a one-legged man to casually stroll along the Asbury Park boardwalk at sundown in August, apparently swinging his arms and enjoying himself, without toppling over. I feel nervous for him every time I look at the photo. And I feel just a tad guilty because I suspect that he was fully-legged before my camera got a hold on him.<\/p>\n

So, be careful with your phones, people. You wield a mighty power.<\/p>\n

(Now go examine your panoramic photos. Let me know if you’ve also mangled anyone.)<\/p>\n
