Newsweek: Is Photography Dead?

[Photoguynorth]

I don't agree with much of it, but it does make you think. The idea of limiting art to accuracy is strange as far as I am concerned.
I also wonder why art (or photography) should be limited to what is real when so much of what we see is not reality ('reality' TV, movies, documentaries - even people have plastic surgery to make themselves look like what they want rather than what they are). We live in a society happy to accept that contrived is normal and real - what should art be?

it's not dead, things are just changing. it's an exciting time.

I absolutely agree on this one. Photography never dies. There are just some things that has been changing yet it still remains a very interesting hobby.
