Death of Photography

Question 1: How do you feel the popularity of cell phones embedded with high-quality cameras has changed the nature of photography?  

A) It takes the uniqueness and specialty of photographers with Canon cameras almost irrelevant and will eventually run them out of business since people can then take their own "professional" photos. Olmos sates "The iPhone has a crap lens. You can take a beautiful picture on the iPhone and blow it up for a print and it looks terrible." which basically dulls peoples wants and needs for a good photo since they spent no money on a "good" picture they took on their phone.

Question 2: Speculate on what you think that the future of Photography will be. Holograms, wearable cameras, organic lenses?

A) I believe the future will create wearable cameras so people wont have to struggle to pull out a camera to take a photo and will behave like a Google Glass where you simply state "Google take a picture" and the glasses will do so. however I believe people will develop contacts to do the action so its more subtle.

Question 3: Respond to this quote from the article: "It's really weird," says Antonio Olmos. "Photography has never been so popular, but it's getting destroyed. There have never been so many photographs taken, but photography is dying." 

A) Photos are booming, However Photography as a career is dying slowly since Iphone cameras are evolving into stronger cameras, same goes with Samsung cameras.

I do Agree with Olmos since he makes good statements on how Photography as a career is dying and that cause is advancing camera Tech on Phones.
