1,135 ‘tagged’ photos on Facebook? 958 photos saved on your iPhone? We’ve all seen the picture of Sandra’s latte that she had with her friend last Friday day. We’ve all seen the picturesque lake from Andrew’s weekend retreat in the Highlands and Kyle’s wannabe hipster photo from that secret underground gig last night.
The success of Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest and Snapchat have made it easier than ever before to capture and document everyday life, from the mundane to the extra-ordinary, through a visual lens.
But did you stop to record some of that ‘sick music’ from last night to show off on Facebook? Do you have any audio material of that mesmerising tranquility you experienced in the Highlands? How does that coffee date sound now?
Next time you are about to Instagram the cake you’re about to devour, next time you are about to capture that perfect landscape with your new Canon DSLR, pause for a few seconds and listen.
