Reading the article really made me think about social media in an entirely different way. I always thought f it as a means of another form of communication but not only with your loved ones but with the world. I now realize that social media can become a serious addiction for some people. They become reliant on it and it can cause problems in their lives. There a re so many driving accidents and people being robbed and falling into things, hurting themselves because they just can’t get off of there phones.

I still do believe that social media is a great way of communication but it shouldn’t reach the point of addiction. Social media is great for advertising and for spreading the word about important information or global causes. Some people even have jobs as professional comedians and make up artists and photographers because of social media. It is a very two sided matter.

For the addiction photo shoot I would like to capture someone looking crazily into their phone with dark lighting as to only see the screen. Another possibility is to have two people not paying attention to each other while on their phones.

For the global causes one I would like to shoot a bunch of people together looking happily at their phones in soft lighting. Or it could be one person showing us the screen of their phone as if to say look at what I just did to change the world.
