Are DSLRs and online photography resources (Flickr, SmugMug, Facebook, blogs, etc) “democratizing” photography (for better or worse)? Is the old model of a few well-known specialists, formerly protected by darkroom availability, slow learning curves (waiting for film to be developed to see results) and high cost (of shooting several hundred thousand photos to develop skill) breaking down? Are the iconic film photographers adequately adapting to new sharing and networking technologies, or will the prolific and fast-moving relative newcomers of the digital age be more appealing to, and do a better job connecting with, the millions of new photography hobbyists who are rapidly acquiring skill on their new DSLRs?
As sites such as iStockPhoto undermine the pricing for stock photography, what might replace that model, Google AdSense revenue?
