While some have described, in hyperbolic fashion, the death of photography… I see rather a birth and a new definition forming, an expansion on previous ideas… a birth occurring that brings with it a new world in a sense, a massive frontier and a new sort of beginning… of new possibilities and new “tools”… and new way of using them and a new way of abusing them. The old is becoming renewed and fresh while “the new” is then already becoming a bit old and dull. We are looking forward yet looking freshly backwards on an unprecedented scale. The past and the present are co-mingling at such a rapid pace as to give one chills… if one can see it.
