A suggestion: think digital first, print second, later or never

by Todd ~ May 18th, 2009. Filed under: Theory, digital.

Since I make my living (or made until recently, I’m unemployed at the moment) in the digital space, I’ve had little patience for the luddites in photography, rejecting posting of photographs on the Web as the first step to rights theft. Well, Paul Melcher’s diatribe “It’s your problem, right now” has me rethinking that position. Melcher has ten suggestions for how photographers deal with the continuing digital juggernaut. I think this is an important issue if we want to continue to have people out there who are spending enough time to become highly skilled specialists in photography. THere’s a place for the democratic camera, but I hope its not so big a space that it pushes out the dedicated photographer.
