Can't see the forest for the trees...

I saw this image and the accompanying story and found it amusing for several reasons.... one of which is I can see this happening to me.

There has been a time or two in my life when I was so engrossed in what I was doing that I "lost contact" with what was going on around me.

This is a great lesson in both photography AND life, every so often we should take a step back, and look around.

You can see the original post here, where you will also find a link to a horrible story of another photographer not paying attention to his surroundings.
