Photography today is the greatest

Photography today is the greatest ever because it is everywhere. Think about it. Everyone with a cellphone has a camera. Not including all the people with cameras. Digital cameras have put the power of photography in the hands of everyday ordinary people just like Kodak’s Brownie box cameras but today we get instant gratification and don’t have to wait for the developed film and prints to come back. While the quality may be questionable of some of the photographs taken today photography is everywhere every day. It has been estimated that there are 1.8 billion photographs taken every day. 1.8 billion. Two hundred and eight thousand (208,000) are uploaded to Facebook every minute.

My point with all this is that we are seeing a great photographic revolution right before our eyes and so much creativity from cellphone photographers and cellphone photo editing apps. Those of us who use dedicated cameras and software needs to keep up with the creativity. Let’s create some fantastic art in the coming week and share it with the world. Let’s do this thing!
