yes, a video is a photograph over time
and what I was saying was if you make an analogy to the overall discipline of graphic design then a book is a poster over time.
but both book design and poster design come under the category of graphic design.likewise still and movies are both photograph.
look in the end credits of any movie and you will see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cin… otherwise known as Director of Photography
look at the definition of photography:
"Photography is the process, activity and art of creating still or moving pictures by recording radiation on a radiation-sensitive medium, such as a photographic film, or an electronic sensor"I say, same discipline. different techniques and skills but same discipline for sure

poke it. see if it moves.
my question to your question. how do you define dead?
just because there are idiots take shit load of cliche photo doesn't mean its dead. there are still a lot of amazing work being produced.

hipstamatic is the autotune of photography

^ HDR + tone mapping photos too.
don't get me wrong. It can create really amazing effect but too many people are using it like "make my logo bigger cream".

for those of us who've sourced and taken apart crazy old cameras, developed our own film, obsessed over different film stocks, dev techniques, compose and take only one shot at a time etc etc.... hipstamatic takes a big sloppy obnoxious turd all over this.

yes, yes, yes... it's all about capturing the image(s). but a poster does not a book make, and glancing at a book nailed to a wall just doesn't work. this my point - not they involve a different set of tools, but that the thought process is different.
it is composition of a different sort.
- not the best analogy but they are the same discipline. A good movie should have great composition, lighting etc just like a stillBaskerviIle

photography isn't dead at all,
professional very well paid photographers maybe...

I ask you this though, with all internet film content, what's the percentage of actually watching it all the way to the end and not FFWDing it or skipping around?
I've noticed that lots of photographers are now 'directing' to keep up with the onslaught of the 'new' medium. Film is not a new medium at all.
We'll always need still photography, as we don't live in minority report just yet.

you can't photoshop a video. So still photography is necessary to uphold the illusion that there are 10/10 hotties out there.

I would say it is enjoying a renaissance right now. So I think you're "how dead" statement is a little out of touch with what's happening. Agree that video/moving image is bleeding into the still photographer's camp but there are loads of factors that suggest stills photography is a growth area at the moment.

Just because the technology changes in how we produce, print and view them is different, doesn't mean it's dead. Maybe it's seemingly more abundant and shit with the emergence of the ubiquitous photo blog; but quality, talent, and an eye for the unusual is still very much alive. Even more so in a world where middle of the road is seemingly everywhere. Maybe it's trickier for photographers to be able to command a bonkers day rate but that's more an indication of the world and changing business models than a reflection that photography is dead.

why would you only want to see one frame of a video for longer than a second?
