My Response for My ARTDM Lipkin Reading

Photography today is something that we use daily and don't stop to realize what it would be like without it. By the year 2003 for the first time...the amount of digital cameras exceeded the amount of regular Film Cameras that were ever sold in a year. In the 1980's scientists and professional photographers used high-end computers to create digital pictures. Today people often use regular color printers for printing.


It states that since the release of digital cameras, regular film has become less popular over time. However ordinary film photography is still used by some professional photographers. Sme people such as John Szarkowski describe that regular photography has not faded but evolved a great deal and is still changing. Photography, digital and regular, are both able to capture moments in time that friends and family will always treasure. Photography's social, cultural, technological innovations have changed the world and made life easier for people.


Professional photographers, sell books of their pictures from certain points in time. Many books display a theme for every artist has their own way of displaying things. Many will use Photoshop for their works and some others will use regular film and work the old fashioned way. It must be understood that all pictures deteriorate whether they are digital or regular film.


Digital Potography has it's advantages and it's disadvantages. Digital photographs can be loaded into the computer and edited and you can save the changes you've made with Adobe Photoshop. he disadvantage to this is that the more you edit your pictures they will become degregated each time you open the one image. Over time you may lose data. It's best to shoot in camera RAW and save all the pictures. They are considered negatives because they are enormous in size.


The advantages to regular photography is the fact of always having an actual negative to go back to if you would like to reuse the image for whatever you desire.


The creativity within photography has evolved over the years because of digital photography and it's effect on the world. It allows us to manipulate photographs and edit images. Regular photographers who don't shoot with digital cameras will change the physical appearance of the object they are shooting which may be more time consuming.
