Just an add to the conversation, maybe a turn of the cube… I see a @&$-ton of images in the course of a month. Not just online and in social, but I go seek out photo books at the art books store, always checking the new arrivals, and I work with a lot of artists out here and, so, come across a lot of shooters. Some fabulous ones. Hell, my daughter is majoring in photography at CalArts right now and she’s not even on social media. She is working in medium format and working with some incredible artists. She’s a real talent. Recently I met a film shooter from South America who is fantastic. I don’t share the idea that photographers have gotten bad, just that far more people are doing it. And that makes it harder to find the voices that differentiate from the crowd. Also, you have a large number of very fast followers who will see something really interesting and then bludgeon it to death by figuring it out and trying to teach it to others, as an influencer. So, I don’t know, I sometimes wonder if it’s possible that it’s not the availability of talent that is waning, but the availability of our attention?
