Photographers are overrated.
Another 1000 years and we are all machines.
:P

Why wait a thousand years? A UK based writing magazine has this to say to budding writers -

Why not take your own pictures? You think you need to be a pro with an expensive camera? Think again... we are of course talking about the camera phone.... etc etc.

I have paraphrased but you get the idea. The article is accompanied by two shots of the same subject, one from a D90 the other from a mobile. The mobile one has as much subtlety and dynamic range as a dead dog on the road yet we are told it's 'good enough'.

But where's the passage you paraphrased?

My apologies, I posted in a hurry, the magazine contents are not actually online, I'll try and get round to quoting the whole passage later. Unfortunately I won't be able to show the two photos they used as an example of a mobile being 'good enough' which is a shame as the one taken on a cell phone was quite dreadful when set against the same scene taken with a consumer dSLR, they just hadn't a clue.
