I just read this and thought that it was an interesting interview.

Here are a couple of snippets:
"I'm fed up with these Hipstamatic and Instagram images. When you're shooting a trash bin using Instagram, you end up with a pretty picture, but the photographer has nothing to do with it... I believe it's possible to shoot good images with an iPhone without using Hipstamatic and Instagram... With Instagram and Hipstamatic, it's all a gimmick. It's pure laziness."
"...with digital photography, you get people who take 25 images in three seconds and send in all 25 images without editing them. We're missing this precious interlocutor. In a lot of newsrooms, picture editors are gone. But photographers need them."
