Myopic comfort
Self-limited perception
Confining the Self
It was cosy inside, looking out through the windows on a winter garden. Birds came to the feeder, rummaging for seeds. Camera poised, I tried to capture them through the glass. The mechanical ‘perfection’ of auto-focus is usually the most efficient way of snapping their rapid movements; it failed me. I caught only the glass and the foreground. A glimpse of distant beauty. Only a deliberate shift in focus allowed me to see true.

Those machines do like to “correct” us. But I kind of like the shift in perspective too. (K)

So do I…it can have its own beauty and, if nothing else, it makes us aware that there is room to shift.

Yes, yes, auto-focus can be very tricky, it seems, as if the camera would have its own stubborn mind. 😉
