I agree with all you say but seeing my own children with the exception of one they take lots of photos.but all on their cell phones they rarely get them printed I have two slrs sitting here none of them interested I think they are not alone in this it is just the way things go at weddings and other social events it is all smartphones the future doesn't look good for dslrs and the smart phone makers are doing their best to improve their cameras

Yes, I know what you mean. I don't carry a tripod, but just holding an actual camera makes me stand out from the crowd. That's my choice, though, because I take better pictures when I use a camera.

Back in the film days, there were many more people using point and shoot cameras and photofinishing than there were people with SLRs who got custom prints or did their own darkroom work.

The number of people who do their darkroom work was very small I think. I don't think more than 10%.

An excellent story. I also have a granddaughter who is a good photographer. She is using my old Sony A7 and takes some wonderful images with it.

I do my fair share of traveling and am guessing it’s 90% Smart Phones vs. DSLR’s, Mirrorless, etc. from my observations. Sometimes I feel a little out of place lugging a tripod and everyone else has a phone in their hands for the same shot Lol! I’m pushing 70 and am amazed at this change! All my friends under 60 have only Smart Phones. One day I think they will figure out a way to increase the focal length using AI. Can’t wait!
I carry one of my cameras and my iPhone 14 Pro Max together when traveling or walking around town. Sometimes a photographical event happens so quickly I do a quick draw of the iPhone and take the shot. Other times I take a shot of a scene with both, a camera RAW file to edit later on Lr and one iPhone photo for a quick in-phone edit and then to share with family and friends. Sometimes, an iPhone is less intrusive and intimidating with certain people present. At home with my grandson and cats, an adorable scene can happen so quickly I only have time to quick-draw my iPhone! I prefer one of my cameras, but I use both.

I only did B&W at home. I sent color and slides to a lab.

Shooting slides and viewing them with a projector is analogous to those who only view their photos on their phone or computer and never print them.

I have never misplaced my camera and have to call it in hopes to hear it ring. I've never gotten robot calls or junk emails on my camera. I've never dialed the wrong number on my camera. I don't have to be concerned with the malicious virus being sent to me on my camera. I don't have to worry about being tracked or leaving a trail of information when using my camera.
AND....Most importantly of all....If you are a guy, you don't have to worry about the wife or girlfriend (or both if you have them) looking at the messages and who you have been calling on your camera..!😜

The only way this discussion will come to a conclusion is that someday a digital camera is built with a cell phone built in.

I participated in the worldwide Kelby photowalk a few months ago in St Augustine, FL. I arrived early in this tourist trap town to mingle and watch the tourists taking photos. Every single tourist I saw was using cell phone or pad to take photos. Yup, not one point and shoot or larger camera until members of our group showed up.
About two years ago we were on a trip to England taking photos at Stonehenge. Several hundred people were milling around taking photos. I tried to count the number of large cameras as I quickly walked around this attraction. I counted only three with the rest being phones and pads.

I have 15 years on you, Bill and 16 on Mark. Woke up this morning and realized I was still alive. That's a very good start for the day.
