AGM778Q2VF43
I read an interesting article this week about the 'death of photography', which asked whether camera phones were 'destroying an artform'.
It was prompted by a photograph of Danish prime minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt taking a so-called 'selfie' of herself with Barack Obama and David Cameron at the memorial service for Nelson Mandela.
The article raised a few interesting points. It first of all asked whether press photographers would soon use cameraphones instead of expensive SLRs.
It went on to say that people simply do not remember the things they are photographing, 'making the snap-happy nature of modern photography doubly mindless'.
