Photography the greatest art form

Photography, especially digital photography, has become the greatest art form ever! There I said it. Why do I believe this? I’m glad you asked. Photography, and specifically digital photography, is available to the masses. We have access to not only programs like photoshop but we have things like Instagram and cellphone applications that we can use to edit and create our artistic vision. Digital photography is available to nearly everyone. There are currently 6.37 billion smartphones worldwide capable of digital photography. There are roughly 1.05 billion digital cameras in the world. Together that makes 7.38 billion devices capable of digital photography and the world’s population is 7.9 billion people.

I’ll grant you the quality of much of the photographs generated could be debatable but nonetheless, this makes photography the greatest art form ever just because of its availability to the masses.
