This is something I saw in a news letter we receive from St. Georg's Bermuda. This was on an article about documentation of various events and life I guess;
Our devices promise to be the Great Libraries of our lives. Everything captured. Everything is stored. But what we’ve created instead is a massive, uncurated pile of data: thousands of unlabeled photos, near-identical images, forgotten videos. Who hasn’t taken ten shots of the same moment just to find the one worthy of posting? Scroll through your phone long enough and you’ll see it—repetition without reflection.
This has subtly changed how we show up. People don’t really attend concerts or community events anymore; they accompany their phones. They hold them up, steady and obedient, recording moments they will likely never sit down to watch.
And this is why I am trying to slow down with the camera..

Very nice shot!I finally figured out where I can upload photos. Basically I have tapped the limits of my membership. Anyway, I bumped the shadows up on your shot to make the foreground "pop" a bit.
