What’s in Focus

When you look through the lens of a camera, you get to pick your object of focus. The little “red squares” help you define what the lens should sharpen, and the rest of the details will be blurry. The creative part is that you get to pick what the viewer of your artwork will focus…

Don’t Tell Me What To Do!
