Picture This!
May 18, 2015
Confidence is when you believe in yourself and your abilities; arrogance is when you think you are better than others and act accordingly.

"You take pictures of EVERYTHING" is included in a list of the "12 Worst Habits For Your Mental Health" in Health.com.
"Haphazardly snapping pictures may hamper how you remember those moments, according to a study published in Psychological Science. In the study, participants took a museum tour, observing some objects and snapping pics of others. Afterward, they had a harder time remembering the items they photographed compared with the ones they looked at. 'The lens is a veil in front of your eyes and we don't realize it's there,' says Diedra L. Clay, PsyD, chair and associate professor of the counseling and health psychology department at Bastyr University in Kenmore, Washington.
"Get happy now: Focus on your subjects when taking pictures — or, better yet, just sit back and enjoy yourself. Soak up the beauty and participate in the action. These are the things the will make you mentally stronger," says Clay.

Technology should not be used to replace an action (taking picture verses viewing first hand). It should, rather, be used as a tool to enhance the experience. Study first and experience and THEN capture the picture to help you document the moment..In this way the camera is a useful tool and not a filter separating you from the moment. The camera lens will allow you to see things the human eye cannot but only if you understand what you are looking at first. It all comes back to "seek first to understand..."
It is not the technology at fault. It is the lazy habits we develop in using the technology. The car replaced walking, the camera replaced looking, the e-mail replaced writing...
