I look at digital photography a bit like Chinese tube socks. Cheap and plentiful.
If you have 1 photo it's valuable. If you have 10 of the same the value diminishes.
My great grand parents were into photography.and documented they're life. The family photo below was taken around 1925. My great grandmother and grandfather are on the right. They took time to set up the photo and took only 1. This photo has value.
Haskell Wexler got an academy award for photographing 'Close Encounters Of The Third Kind'. All the special effects lighting was done on camera. There were little or no computer effects. That was photography and why the award was given to him.
Click, click, click, click. click and picking the best one doesn't have much vision in the concept. It also means you don't need to be a good photographer. Good for hacks and people with no creative ability but certainly not artistic.
Call me an old dinosaur. I still like the concept of film much more than digital. Hell, you can actually hold the original negative that was struck with light in your hand and look at it. What a concept! Try that with digital, you can't.
