![[Item Permalink]](http://radio.weblogs.com/0112083/images/ur_bullet.gif){kind=small} There are too many photographs -- Comment()
The Online Photographer ponders the effect of there being available a massive amount of photos. What will happen to the concept of great photography? Technology is leading to a sudden photographic efflorescence, a thousand points of light if you will. That's cool in some ways - but it means real quality is getting lost among the profusion and the massive increase in supply is cheapening the value.I'm currently following about 20 blogs about photography, and many of these are posting excellent pictures weekly or even daily. And there is an endless-seeming collection of nice-looking photos at sites such as Flickr and Picasa. But will this mean that the art of photography will disappear behind the massive scale? Will the norm be somebody taking a good photo by accident vs. doing photography by skill and art?
