Photography, and how "digital" has ruined it.

Digital camera's have ruined photography as a form of art. Whilst before, the magic of the photograph came from it capturing a specific point, and if something went wrong and the photograph wasn't quite what you wanted then you just had to deal with it. You had a finite number of pictures on your roll of film so you couldn't retake the photo again and again to get it right.

This is a shame.

I know some very, very good photographers, Mary for example, and Nicki.

It seems a shame that actual good photographers can be imitated by people without talent. Sure they don't have the skill to know when a photogrpah is going to look good, but instead they can make up for it by taking as many pictures as possible and eventually getting lucky.
