This is very true. This is what I call the "deformalization" of photography. The other end of the spectrum from where we began our PERSONAL relationship with the medium -- once people made appointments, got dressed-up, waited hours in a room while the photog set-up, then had to sit motionless for a miserably long time while the exposure was made.

The new ubiquity of "cameras" (of devices that have a CCD in them) is also having a profoundly transformative effect. Easy upload access to The Network means the point of access is also now becoming a point of instantaneous content production.

When you extrapolate that trend forward a few years, restrictive attempts like 2257 are revealed in their FULL IGNORANT ABSURDITY.
