All,
I think the major point that Bill was making was that to him, a genre
of photography was dying out.  In his last paragraph, he expresses his
regret that the style of photography epitomized by small cameras and
fast film recording life in brief, brilliant moments was passing by.

Those on the Street Photoraphy list sponsered by the Deadman might
disagree however.

Last, Bill does mention that all those billions of snapshots taken
might be far more important to future understanding of a society than
a fabulous street photo.  I know that our own Sonny would agree with
that.
