How do you feel about the future of mankind? You change yourself by the huge amount of horrible events, otherwise you couldn't stand it. And, there will be a major disaster in not so far future. On the other side, mankind and cultures will survive as long as earth is not destroyed completely. >6/ How important is the art of photography in today's society? The significance of paintings didn't change so much over the centuries also. Art is appreciated always, it's the culture, the fingerprint of a nation. >7/ Will conventional photography gradually be phased out by the modern >electronic equipment and video-cameras? There will be a changement in the next 50 or 100 years in favor of video and digital equipment, maybe 70:30. But, there's a fundamental difference between taking originals into your hands or looking at a screen or printer's result - even in the age of Max Headroom.
