InsignificANT: A Bug's Life

-

This photograph shows a shallow depth of field with a bird-eye view that helps us realize how small things are in the big world. When we were kids we took interest in the insignificant aspects of life, such as ants. However, as we grow older we tend to carry heavier burdens. As life goes on, it is nice to sit back and reminisce on the small things rather than worrying about the large expectations life places on our shoulders. In our eyes, ants are seen as minuscule creatures; when in reality we are just as small as they are compared to the world around us.
