The first rule of focus is this: "Wherever you are, be there." -- Anonymous
I love this thought... probably because it is simple and focused in-and-of-itself. In photography I adore the use of selective focus. Whether it be the eyes of a child sparkling crisp and clear or part of an ornate gate, the effect is the same: "This RIGHT HERE is what I find to be most important". I wish I could say that I effectively use selective focus in all areas of my life. I'm not saying that the ability itself doesn't exist, only that I would categorize myself as one of those people who is still trying to achieve a semi-optimal state of focus.
Until then, I have my camera.
