Ok, this is for all the people here who know a little about photography and, especially, about it’s history. I saw this at another website a few moments ago and this is so true it’s painful. And yet this truth is why we’ve seen the biggest uptick in pictures taken since the turn of the 20th century. What you say? This:

We have some of the most insanely great cameras ever imagined available to us. Yet what are most pictures taken with? Phones.

A few generations ago when the first photo explosion happen it was with a Brownie. Just as limited and just as ubiquitous.

Our generations will not be remembered for all the careful pictures we photographers make but for the snaps of countless phones in the magic of the instant.
