All the cameras are the same. All the innovations are the same. Nothing is really changing. There are boring (slow piece meal) innovations occurring which are quite lame. It all seems quite predictable and boring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cameras look the same, function the same. They keep getting a little better, more megapixels, fewer megapixels, improved image quality and high ISO performance, etc. For the most part, I feel very bearish about the future of photography.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. The future of visual arts <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is where I see a lot of ripe new opportunities. BEYOND basic notions of photos.
