But all of this digital is destroying photography is pretty silly. ============ Don didn't say that digital is destroying photography. He said it was devastating the industry. Yes, more people seem to be taking pictures. Galleries upon galleries on the Internet of drunken peeps lined up grinning past their drinks at parties. Narcistic not-so-lovelies with 968 self-portraits. Tourist destinations with rows of people their photo endowed cellphones held in modified statue of liberty stance, capturing each other. There's a camera store in Shreveport that has been open for 75 years. The downtown shop still looks and feels like a camera store, but the other two locations are now called "Dee's Cameras and Gifts." Those locations keep only a couple of rolls of Reala each. They also send you to the downtown location if you need something exotic like a filter. Oh yeah, BD it sho is gettin' better.
