As we talk about the amazing capabilities of digital, around the world many people interested in these things are asking questions about whether digital is revolutionizing photography, or if it is a mere evolution. Whether you’re a revolutionist or evolutionist, there’s no doubt that the average person is now capable of taking great photos of anything and everything important to them – as most of you found out in class, and some of you will find out when you take our class.<\/p>\n
At the fore of this change is what happens to photography now? How does “professional” photography change? What is the line between amateur and pro, now that digital is ubiquitous and allowing people to learn the principals of photography at an accelerated rate? The Mus\u00c3\u00a9e de l’Elys\u00c3\u00a9e, Lausanne in Lausanne, Switzerland, is asking these questions and more in their “We Are All Photographers Now” Project ( http:\/\/www.allphotographersnow.ch<\/a> ).<\/p>\n What they’re doing as described from their website :<\/p>\n Cell-phone imagery, digital camera pictures, sharing sites like Flickr and photolog, amateur agencies like Scoopt and Splash, individual blogs, electronic scrapbooks, hotlinking, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dccitizen photojournalism\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, professional photographs showing amateurs at play, new printing opportunities, and historical precedents going well back to the 19th century\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 all are fodder for our electronic experiment. This is the first major museum project to undertake a comprehensive overview of the digital revolution as it impacts on everyone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n How can you participate?<\/p>\n A hundred images every week will be chosen at random by a computer and printed on HP paper, so as to ensure the highest standards of archival quality. These pictures will then be shown as such for a full week before being replaced by the selection from the following week, and be subsequently archived in the permanent collection of the Mus\u00c3\u00a9e de l’Elys\u00c3\u00a9e.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Now get to shooting and uploading!<\/p>\n K:M<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As we talk about the amazing capabilities of digital, around the world many people interested in these things are asking questions about whether digital is revolutionizing photography, or if it is a mere evolution.
