Let’s be honest—some tasks are so routine they barely engage the brain anymore. For me, Health & Safety training is one of those. It’s necessary, sure, but after doing it every couple of years for two decades, my mind naturally starts looking for an escape route.
Today, that escape came in the form of my glasses resting on my notebook. Something about the way they lay, half-forgotten in front of the screen, caught my eye. I grabbed my camera and turned a mundane moment into something more deliberate.
The new Sigma 20mm f/1.4 Art lens handled it beautifully—shallow depth of field, crisp foreground, a dreamy blur where the real world faded into the background. It made me think: How many moments like this do we miss because we’re too focused on things that don’t really require our attention?
Maybe getting distracted isn’t always a bad thing. Sometimes, it’s where the creativity hides.
