Looking differently

Our household aquired an iPad 1 from a family member. They no longer needed it, and the girls could use it for educational apps. (ok ok ok... a few games too.)

While I was busy setting it up, I had to put some photos on it. Family photos, cool and interesting photos, just a blank canvas for whatever. The girls liked to go through them from time to time to look at what they had done and people they cared about.

I picked one photo for the screen lock- it was not family, but rather sunflowers from Broom's Bloom dairy up in Harford Co. (highly recommended) That image sat on the lock screen for a couple months now. It had been there long enough that I wasn't sure if I had taken it, or if it was a stock photo. (seriously) See image on the right.

One other important aspect that changed my mind was the auto-rotation of the image on the screen. That really through me off and changed my prospective.

With just a small refocus of the image, things took on a much different feel and look.


I went back to the archives and found them in my Lightroom feed. I never published them to Flickr for some reason. Well, I did this morning, and I am glad I did.

Made for a very good thought experiment, and a prospective to review later- live with them... think about them... revisit.
