I believe technology is a great tool but we need to stay grounded sometimes and remember that we don&#8217;t actually need it survive.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/matthardy.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC_3149-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62\" style=\"width:387px;height:581px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/matthardy.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC_3149-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/matthardy.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC_3149-681x1024.jpg 681w, https:\/\/matthardy.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC_3149-768x1154.jpg 768w, https:\/\/matthardy.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC_3149-1022x1536.jpg 1022w, https:\/\/matthardy.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC_3149-1362x2048.jpg 1362w, https:\/\/matthardy.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC_3149-300x451.jpg 300w, https:\/\/matthardy.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC_3149-850x1278.jpg 850w, https:\/\/matthardy.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC_3149.jpg 1703w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">work from home 4<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>I love photography.  I feel that a a great photo can have more emotion and meaning than any other form of media.  I started to appreciate photography back in high school but only started taking it more serious the last 2 years.  During the shutdown I was fortunate enough to work from home and had plenty of free time to practice and really getting to know my camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another form of technology I\u2019ve recently learned to love is Minecraft.  My daughter is the one who discovered it and got me hooked.  I\u2019ll be the first to admit I laughed it off as silly game until I actually sat down to try it.  Now I\u2019m hooked!  The science behind it fascinates me and I find the building aspect of it relaxing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This site is simply a way for me to express and the things I like with the online community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Matt Hardy and I&#8217;m based in South Eastern Ohio on the edge of Appalachia.
