The state of contemporary photography

Here's an interesting thread on the current state of contemporary photography. The opinions run the gamut; from the folks who say everything's just dandy, to those that say that digital has made an over-saturation of amateur photographers possible.

I myself lean towards the digitally-induced over-saturation hypothesis, but then again everything is always in state of change. If not, we'd still be shooting with Brownies. And something that I thank the digital revolution for; analog cameras have come down in price incredibly. Now I can play with rangefinders and medium-format cameras I couldn't have afforded 25 years ago.

So you could say that at this moment we can enjoy the best of both worlds, if we choose to.

So anyways, check out the thread and chime in.
