Missing the Moment to Catch the Moment
It is tremendously easy to slip from attending into thinking and recording. When the Olympic cycle race passed through my town of Dorking, I was determined to witness the special event. I found the perfect location to watch the race and kept my eyes on the road in eager anticipation of catching the leading cyclists as they passed. Spotting them as dots in the distance, I grabbed my smart phone. I took the all‐important photograph; but I missed the race. By the time I looked up from the aperture the cyclists had already zoomed past me.
I was struck by another striking smart phone example when I visited the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam this year. The crowds were thick in front of the famous huge Rembrandt picture, The Night Watchman, and I wasn't surprised that many were looking into the screens of their phones to get the perfect picture. But many also were facing away from the picture and were busy taking selfies of themselves with the Rembrandt as their backdrop – not looking at the picture at all!
