This article is about the collision between pro photographers and amateur stock photographers, all because of digital cameras. I think it comes down to the following…
Film + Darkroom Work = Art Photography
Digital Camera + Photoshop Processing = Photojournalism
…at least more so now.
Painting is one of the hardest medium to learn but the easiest to identify with the artist. On the other, with photography it’s always been difficult to identify between the artists and their photography, yet it is the easiest medium to learn. Digital photography blurs that line further.
