Once it was said:"The wish to capture evanescent reflections is not only impossible...but the mere desire alone, the will to do so, is blasphemy. Along with artists who felt that the invention of the Daguerreotype would end thier livelihoods. It all goes to say that when new advances are made,the die hards will discourage to any degree what they have come to know. Even in Victorian times stereoscopic photography was a way of manipulating. I accept change.I still think you need an eye for grabbing the subject.Digital allows this much easier. Im calling digital imaging photography till the day I die. As cynlee says too When it does not look like a photo,then it can become 2D art.
