Thought provoking piece on photography in a social media world. What social media photography is teaching us is to start breaking down the walls of convention and accepted wisdom. To embrace the winds of change with arms wide open in order to capture its quintessence. To start from the end – why is that image successful – and reconsider every step it took to make it. To reverse engineer those images that are so popular in order to understand their power of appeal. To accept with intelligent humility that we know nothing about photography and that it doesn’t belong to a selected group of privileged insiders. It is being remodeled as we speak, and will continue to change, evolve, adapt and grow in somewhat unpredictable directions. And to remember that this uncertainty is a huge part of why we all love it so much.
