Remember summertime when you were a kid? The\u00a0possibilities were endless\u00a0<\/a>and the days lasted a lifetime. The epitome of a summer day was being on a beach or by a lake and posting all your activities on Instagram while your best buds ignored you to play games on their iPhones. No? Is that not the childhood summer you remember? Right, most of us didn\u2019t even have the internet when were kids let alone constant-companion pocket-computers.<\/p>\n

Even though tech has only become ubiquitous in the past 2 decades, it\u2019s hard to imagine a time without it. But in stock photography, stock footage and all kinds of visual content there\u2019s a pervasive theme that\u2019s popping up for all the tech-dependent millennials and gen-Xers: the desire for the digital detox.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n

More and more people are taking time from the technology overload of the modern age and\u00a0returning to nature to connect with the inner self.<\/a>\u00a0Some may have forgotten what it\u2019s like to have an attention span, but others have recognized the\u00a0anxiety-inducing effects of being perpetually connected<\/a>\u00a0and need a break from it all. It\u2019s important to think about what it is that people are trying to reconnect to. For most, it\u2019s slowing down,\u00a0taking time with friends and family, and living in the present. And for those that grew up in the pre-digital era, the epitome of living in the present was\u00a0being a kid, in the summer, at the beach<\/a>, with nothing to do.<\/p>\n

Images through the perspective of the device-free, summertime kid, really capture the essence of freedom. They can bring that child-like feeling into your work for something nearly everyone can relate to (and would love to revisit).<\/p>\n\n \n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

BEACH VIDEOS + PHOTOS OF SAND PLAY<\/h2>\n

The sand is there for so much more than just getting into your food and the lining of your swimsuit. Kids manage to find all sorts of things to do with sand to turn the beach into a playground of endless possibilities. Beach images can show kids drawing pictures in the sand, hanging out in the shoreline with a pale ready, or there\u2019s always the classic buried in the sand look.<\/p>\n\n \n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
