love the cello joke. So true. Agree with you're post.
*The good photographers will always stand out in the sea of mediocrity.
*the abundance of camera tech just make it more a accessible to the masses, that doesn't make them any more skilled, just accessible.
*the fundament studies of photography will always be the important stuff. I doubt that the average joe who picks up a new cam will be interested in 'undertsanding exposure' or 'a guide to photographic composition'
*The technology is more accessble, but more accessible to everyone including the pros, kinda making it more of a level playing field. If you gave a thousand people paints and a canvas and told them to paint, the good painters will stand out.
*it's very hard to determine if accessibility will raise or reduce the quality level - making the technology so accessible will ultimately push the skill level of as it will be so easy for more people to participate. Counter arguement - when equipment and processes were more complex only those with a real thirst for photography would get involved, overall producing a high level of quality.
I think that now anyone can take a photo, which is great. But it does mean there will be a mass increase in mediocrity. I'm just happy for those who get interested in it and want to learn more and for those who really enjoy it regardless of the images produced :)
