Time Article: "The Next Revolution in Photography Is Coming"

[noisycheese]

Another techno-addict that mistakes a small hype and some additional technological possibilities with Revolution. Although I'm a techno-addict myself, I can't stand these naive type of articles of people, who think, talking techno-**** can replace reflection and substance and who have an attention-span the length of a twitter message. Next week this guy can't remember his own words and will talk about another absolute historic and uniq revolution that has no comparison since the invention of wet plates. I like every development, that contributes to photography and peoples ability to express their visions. This article was no positive contribution to anything.

Agreed.

Technology cannot an will not replace content, composition and perception. As David Vestal once said:

"Compensating for lack of skill with technology is progress toward mediocrity. As technology advances, craftsmanship recedes. As technology increases our possibilities, we use them less resourcefully. The one thing we've gained is spontaneity, which is useless without perception".
