Chapter 7 focuses on technological advances made around digital
photography, regarding capturing and creating an image. Digital photography has recently approached
its 20th anniversary. After
reading this chapter I stated to think about changes I have seen within the
digital photography world because we are roughly the same age. Not only have camera technology improved, but
the photography gadgets and editing tools have undergone tremendous changes. Camera settings, camera phones, high tech
professional grade digital cameras being sold to the masses, stock photography
data bases, Photoshop, ect are changing the ways in which images are
generated. Are photographs moving away
from capturing truths and becoming manipulations? We have made a quick transition from analog
to digital photography and like many other technological advances analog is
being seen as a thing of the past. Where
do you think analog photography will be in the next 10 years? What conversations do you think we will be
having regarding these changes in the next 5 years? How has this affected
photography as an art form?
