Has the art of photography died? Is
it only to be used for lounge portraits and the paparazzi? No longer are we
forced to flick through slideshows of our friend’s holiday snaps. Instead we
can click through them on Facebook and press the like button to pretend that we’ve
seen them. There’s been a decrease in the humble digital photo frame thanks to
the increase of the internet. But there’s something about walking into someone’s
home to see a picture that they’ve chosen instead of a painted wall. It shows
their personality and their interests rather than something a designer has
picked out for them. With a digital frame; you can update them every time
someone comes to visit. It offers them a window on your life; and I’m
astonished that they’ve declined in an increasingly digital world. And that’s
why there’s still interest in photography; it showcases people’s creativity. Unless
we’re no longer encouraged to share each other’s lives in person.
