Add A Realistic Rainbow To A Photo

A Moment In Time

This photo was for a project in which we had to capture a moment that shows our time period, ourselves and applies to our audience. This photo shows Tia on the computer. You can tell that her face is lit by the computer alone. The reason I chose this subject is because our generation is very obsessed with computers and technology in general. We are probably the first generation to be so consumed with technology since we have been around through this huge technological revolution. Many young people and even adults can identify with this. Always using our phones, computers, iPods and now even iPads. And even those who's lives don't revolve around technology have witnessed this. Whether it be their friends or family, technological obsession is very prominent in our society.
