Selective focus

Taken in downtown Asheboro for one of my small format weekly's.

   This picture was done with a tilt shift lens. These lenses move left, right, up and down so that you can choose one part of the frame to have in focus while the rest of the frame appears blurred. I really enjoyed using this lens and it also kind of made me think...
   I feel like we as humans tend to do exactly what this lens is made for. Sometimes we get so focused on one thing, that the rest of the world is blurred. Unlike the lens though, we can get carried away and forget about the rest of the picture. It is okay to focus on important aspects in our lives, but that doesn't mean that we should forget about the other parts.
