Meta(Re)Verse – IMRAN®


Meta(Re)Verse – IMRAN®

I’ve loved photography ever since my father handed me my first camera at age 7. I’ve loved gadgets just as long—and still hang on to the best ones from a lifelong collection.

Ray-Ban sunglasses? That’s another lifelong love—ever since my late mother gifted me my first aviators in Pakistan in the mid-1970s. So while I’m not eager to further enrich Zuckerberg, last winter I did order the Ray-Ban Meta camera/headphone glasses in New York.

I got the lens-color-changing kind and tested them out during a limo ride to give a conference speech in NYC last December.

Even though I’ve been writing for newspapers since age 17, I’m not trying to be Clark Kent—much less Superman. Just aiming for super/camera/man status, one gadget at a time. The photo was taken 8 months before the latest movie came out. 

Talk about reversing the metaverse. This is actually an iPhone selfie to see how nerdy the camera glasses make me look. Mission accomplished.

I already own red underwear. Now, where do I order the bright blue bodysuit and red cape?
