When computer science takes a break

by Arnold Matusz 2 5 2009

It’s a long time since I’ve last been out for a little photo shooting. It’s probably not the photography that is so desirable, I think it’s more the fact that I get to disconnect from all the daily matters, from programming, from all the new information that arises daily from nowhere.

I never seem to get tired, I always feel like I have enough reserve to do anything. I never feel I need to get a good sleep or that I would like to do something else. I always feel good in my little world of … hmm, there would be too many to enumerate here. Anyway I always feel myself occupied with keeping up with the latest technologies, the latest trends, programming languages and techniques, etc.

Only when I take a short break from what I do usually, do I feel how desperately I need a bit of free time. I desperately needed a bit of “something else”. The little walk in a forest far away where you would think nobody has been before, far away from any civilization really did charge my batteries up, and now I feel like I could move mountains.

I also found a little scene for a little photo that I would like to share, exactly where I thought nobody has been before I found a little man-made concrete :).

Shooting info:

  • F/13.6
  • 0.77s exposure time
  • ISO 200
  • Fujifilm FinePix S5700

For all you “computer scientists” out there I really recommend disconnecting yourself from the computer from time to time, it’s well worth it.

Good thoughts! One doesn't really need to be locked in front of computer constantly trying to keep up with the latest trends in programming.

Its always a good idea to take a break at regular intervals, but you must appreciate that you're among the very few around the world who are doing what they like and that hardly makes them tired from what they do daily.
