But even such traditional photographers often shoot a lot more than they use--as Bernard Shaw said around 1900, "The photographer is like a cod, which produces million eggs in order that one may reach maturity"!!!!!Angela and Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01595787896658046091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472697.post-2299232780180170082013-04-29T07:15:42.362-04:002013-04-29T07:15:42.362-04:00I think the technology has a role in the outcome. ...I think the technology has a role in the outcome. Each photograph had more value years ago than today, owing to how it was produced.<br /><br />Using film, he had to be keen to observe a certain ... picture or story. He might have said, not consciously, "That. That there. That's a story." And he had one or two chances to get that story.<br /><br />Being able to take photos with a digital camera or on a phone today and not having to get them developed, not even really paying for them, informs the photo. You don't or won't reject or filter as much. Photography has changed a lot in the last 20 years. Lots of goodness, but I do miss the authenticity of older photographs.Bixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263963508785739508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472697.post-61504153334725697382013-04-28T13:44:18.295-04:002013-04-28T13:44:18.295-04:00These are fabulous.
