So hard to have excuses these days.

A Winnipeg-based, legally blind commercial photographer is the winner of the CNIB Eye Remember national photography competition.
Tara Miller, 39, was the only legally blind photographer among the five finalists and she was the top vote-getter in the national public voting contest that ended June 30.
The CNIB held the contest to promote public awareness of glaucoma.
Miller was born with congenital rubella syndrome — which leads to cataracts — and developed glaucoma at 16. her eye sight deteriorated to the point where she was legally blind at 33.
Miller’s winning photo — a shot of a lightning storm over a field of sunflowers at sunset, called Fortuitous Twilight, was taken last August between Headingley and Starbuck. The same photo won best in show and best colour print at the 2011 Red River Exhibition Photography Salon.
She’s been working as a commercial photographer for three years.
"Yes, I’m legally blind but I want to take that extra step and be known as that legally blind commercial photographer," Miller said. "I like the idea of recognition."
Miller and her husband operate 100 Acre Woods Photography.
