Our piece is from the perspective of a social media (specifically, Facebook) addict. This person goes through their everyday activities without noticing, responding to, or appreciating their surroundings. We utilized panoramic shots to emphasize the great deal of beauty and action of the environment around the person looking at the social media. We also put the technology that is feeding the Facebook addiction in the center of every picture, correlating to the place which this technology stands in the person's life. Three different images are important to this piece because it exemplifies how mobile social media has become, and that it can be used practically anywhere...including, unfortunately, places that would otherwise provide invaluable learning and social experiences.
