Question 1: How do you feel the popularity of cell phones embedded with high-quality cameras has changed the nature of photography?
This has changed the nature of photography because the iPhone is taking away the beauty of photography. Its supposed to be a rare beautiful thing to look at in amazement but now it has turned into an everyday common thing. "We're used to the complaint that we're taking pictures rather than living in the moment, and that makes us experientially poorer" says Henkel. Photography is about skill and understanding about lighting, exposure, etc, not about picking up your phone and snapping a photo.
Question 2: Speculate on what you think that the future of Photography will be. Holograms, wearable cameras, organic lenses?
I think future photography will have no meaning and no one will have understanding of what photography actually is. It will be taken for granted and the more technology, the worse it will be. I can imagine holograms in the near future taking over photographs all together.
Question 3: Respond to this quote from the article: "It's really weird," says Antonio Olmos. "Photography has never been so popular, but it's getting destroyed. There have never been so many photographs taken, but photography is dying."
Do you agree with Mr. Olmos? Why or why not?
I do agree with Mr. Olmos, because what he is saying is so true about photography. There are so many pictures being taken with iPhones, on social media, etc and the true meaning of photography and the beauty of it is indeed dying.
