Originally via Clusterflock.AS: You can feel struggle with what to do in this world with billions of pictures. I think there's a strain of photography going for something more physical, so you're seeing a lot of cut up, photograms, one of a kind objects. I'm naturally a sucker for that, because I like that stuff, but I don't think that's a long term answer, it's just a side effect. I think there is a hunger merging these pictures, how to tell stories, how to use new technology online to do it. This is more in photo journalism circles, but I see it in fine art photography too, aching to get beyond the single picture. I see these two things happening. If I were 20 years old, I think I'd be on the cusp, like being a photographer in 1942. An incredible revolution is taking place, it's very exciting, and no one's figured out how it's going to work, but something's big is going to happen.
