There will be a phase where both will be put next to one other (the interbellum, in which we find ourselves now), and after a while classical photography will be considered as an ancient technique which involves a certain craftsmanship that should be respected. We will love the retro feel of it. And, as you say, we will judge those photographs seperately from the new style ones. But those latter ones will be still called photographs. Meanwhile our eyes will adjust to the new techniques. And they will become the new reality. Remember how state of the art the first Jurassic Park was? Look at it again. It's outdated. The same thing is happening to photography ATM (IMO). > From: Feli <feli2@earthlink.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Date: Sat, 5 Mar 2005 12:43:58 -0800 > To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Re: Is that so wrong? > > > On Mar 5, 2005, at 11:28 AM, Philippe Orlent wrote: >>> >> I seem to have missed the last posts on this topic.
