The Death of Photography Has Been Greatly Exaggerated

Interesting article about the way we perceive photographs compared to video.
One of the things we love about the still image is the way in which it can stimulate the imagination to create a fiction around an image, said Robin Kelsey, a professor of photography at Harvard. The fact that we can commit a single image to memory in a way that we cannot with video is a big reason photography is still used so much today.

Death of still photography is all in the eyes of the beholder. Photography can be art or a snap shot. The snap shot will later be a moment in history. Photography will capture a moment, focus your interest on one issue. How can that ever die???????????????

It won't. But people get all discombobulated over the least little thing, blow it out of all proportion, then angst over it for years. sheesh
