Images and focal point

Some one did a project that surrounded the idea of focal images in nature. He focused on the idea that technology gets in the way of seeing other things in nature. He had pictures of geese that were blurry and clear. It also had the phone in the picture. The geese was blurry in the picture demonstrating what often happens when people are out in nature. I am definitely guilty of this. A lot of times we get consumed by the technology that's in hand instead of stopping and enjoying the scenes around us. You will see parents who are out at a baseball game or some other sort of sport that they are supposed to be watching their child, but they will be on their phone instead. This is sad to me because they don't take the time to enjoy their children and maybe don't realize that they can't get those moments back.

I think that it is important to stop and smell the flowers every now and then. I enjoy that saying! People could learn from it in respects to getting off of their phones and enjoying life outside of technology.
