3D Blackberry, Nancy

I have a friend who is majoring in 3D Animation at FIT and about a year ago he began to post some of his work on facebook. It may be just because he is my friend but his artwork always "stood out" to me. As you see this is a 3D picture of a blackberry. For some reason I always paid more attention to this image more than any of his other images. I think it is because we live in such a technological society and the 3D blackberry in the image is almost like a symbol of how we are dependent on our cell phones. About a month ago I went on a two week study tour with my tropical biology class to Costa Rica. I remember one of the professors that traveled with us said he was going to be so happy to get away from technology for a week. By the end of the trip he was using the laptop more than anyone else! I feel that cell phone usage and technology is so essential in our lives now that people use it to create sample artwork, like my friend in this picture.
But don't get me wrong, I feel like I can't live without technology either!
