Ant's Eye-View

I have been currently reading a book called, "The Photographers Eye" by Michael Freeman. This book basically teaches the fundamentals of capturing an appealing and successful photograph using a DSLR (a digital single lens reflex). It's got pages and pages filled with tips and tricks to capturing a successful photo. Anyways, getting to the point - I also read something that has never actually captured my attention but has crossed my mind before. We, as human beings see life horizontally hence when we hold a camera it is first nature to take a photograph horizontally, or landscaped (other than taking pictures full body and such). Well, this being brought to my attention IT MADE SENSE! So reviewing some of my past photos that I've taken from my high school photography class I found the perfect one to suit todays mood.

Today's society is always IN A RUSH! We always feel like we need to be efficient with our movements, meaning we have to always complete things the most quickest and efficient ways. During the busy work days, time flies and next thing you know it, it's time to get some sleep and repeat the same thing again tomorrow. For one, I'm actually the person that's point of view is always in slow motion. Haha. I understand that might not be good for me, but it helps me to observe society and people. This probably doesn't make any sense but I basically feel like a hippy! Haha, to me I see a technological society always in a rush to get things done. Doesn't anyone just stop to smell the roses anymore?

Well here's a shot of Dundas Square on a busy work day (: I wish camera frames were never ending. Haha, watch! One day I will photograph the entire world! .. Maybe
