I was pleased with the photos I took in Coventry Cathedral - the reason I chose my particular phone was for its camera as that's the main thing I use it for. My kids both took some photos with it too, mainly through windows - the bunnies on the grass outside our hotel window, and the sun setting on the way home, through the car window. In their photos you can see what they were trying to capture, but also there are scratches, reflections and a misty film where the light bounced. Looking at them on my not-so-clean computer, I'm trying to work out if the smears are on the photo or my screen. Having deleted most, I then started to think about the symbolism there too - the stuff that's on our lenses impacting on what/how well we see. Or actually should we be dismissive of those fingerprints that reduce the clarity of what we view - just cos I think the main focus should be on what is beyond, who is to say that actually what is beyond is anymore important than what's right in front of us...Hope whatever you're looking at today you get to notice just how amazing it is at any depth :)
