Outside Inside
It’s easy to take a picture while outside exploring Santa Barbara, but can you take photo of something that represents the outside while actually being inside? This week we explored just this idea. “The best camera is the one that’s with you.” — Chase Jarvis. As we are in and out of school buildings, work buildings, our homes, friends homes and more we explore the challenge of having to snap the perfect photo. The perfect photo that equally and possibly elegantly represents the outside world while being inside throughout our everyday lives.
