Linking Thinking

Is Photography Dead?

A film pho­to­graph was at its core a record of some­thing that hap­pened in front of a cam­era; a dig­i­tal photo, on the other hand, may con­tain only a trace of real­ity. Pho­tog­ra­phers can make pho­tos as well as take them, and every land­scape is now the most beau­ti­ful scenery in the whole his­tory of the uni­verse. The next great photographers—if there are to be any—will have to find a way to reclaim photography’s spe­cial link to real­ity. And they’ll have to do it in a brand-new way.
