re: the demise of photography as a skill, craft, and art....

In my previous job where I worked for a Photoshop plug-in company
I saw this coming. Social media websites, cameras on phones, the
obsession/fascination with LoFi photography, and less expensive
decent digital cameras have all contributed to this IMHO. Crappy
low-res pictures are in fashion these days for the general public.

I also thought that the increased quality of the cameras on cell
phones would also hurt the mid market digital camera market as well.
I saw an article on just that last year.

There will always be a need for well taken high-res shots, but
that market is greatly diminished from what it was. Trying to make
money as a photographer these days is a tough gig.

My 2 cents....
