Boston.com has emerged as the top showcase of photojournalism lately. Their latest series is by Jason Hawkes who shows us The Big Picture through photos of man-made and natural landscapes from miles above the Earth. This photo is of tomatoes on the banks of a river in France.
Imagine the when Google Earth will give us live satellite images. No matter how bad your day is, you can find yourself on Google Earth and zoom out to give yourself some perspective. Suddenly, big problems are tiny specs in the big scheme of things. Changing your perspective is a matter of bending time and space, but imagine when you can share it with others on a screen.
I wonder how technology such as this will affect people’s own belief systems.
