"Is Photography Over?" published by SFMOMA
Dull, technical, even a few interesting, the responses of the participants within the article all approached the question differently, but in the end they eventually came to a similar conclusion. It is not that photography will no longer exist, people will continue to take photos. Technology today has made photography a vital part of our lifestyle. As Jennifer Blessing refers to it in the text, it is a medium that was "founded in technology innovation, it is subject to the product life cycle, which is to say that every new device or process reaches a zenith of popularity only to be superseded by the next innovation." The way in which we look and define photography is changing, is morphing and evolving, requiring artists to rethink photography, but the photography as an art form and recording device will continue on.
