Sometimes a simple image can tell a powerful story. This image for me is all about connection and disconnection. About the physical and virtual. About generational differences and experiences. About having lived, and just starting to live. Although in the same physical space as the adults, the young girl is completely connected to the phone and disconnected from her surroundings. On the other hand, the adults are enjoying the fire, conversation and company by the lake. Even the differences in colour and clarity in the image help to build the contrasts between the two different worlds. The warmth from the glow of the fire, vs the cool glow from the virtual word of the phone. The nuanced value contrast in the real world vs the stark value contrast in the virtual world. Thought for the day
"There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self." Ernest Hemingway
