This is very much a "tounge in cheek" post,however it should be said that I do think it a,albeit vague,possibility.Cameras could advance to an extent where the majority of a professional photographers advantage is anulled,ie,the quality of the image produced.The other weapon of all professionals is of course image selection,only presenting the good images,something we all do,amateur or professional.However all of us with any experience could go to anyones,I repeat anyones,stack of old negatives or digital files and find half a dozen stunning pictures,just waiting to be cropped,well printed and framed.As digital technology becomes more sophisticated that half dozen will possibly change to 50 %.Everyone smiling,stunning quality,beautifully lit.
Im just trying to open a maybe interesting discussion on what you think is next for the professional and where you think digital technology will take us and the millions of rank amateurs out there.
Film could be described as dead,its beginning and end are pretty well defined,it will become a very expensive alternative for affectionados,but maybe this will be its saving as the last refuge of professionals.
