Interesting that "photography" was NOT even considered an 'art form' until late 1970's if memory serves me. After all how much (creativity) does it take to 'push a button'? vbg

If you don't know, William, you never will.

This looks great, just one BIG omission, where is the advent of instant photography? POLAROID should be included in any history of photograph. Wonder why it is missing. Instagram does keep the Polaroid look and feel alive in the digital age. I worked at Polaroid for 15 years and loved every moment!

The Question is, for professional photographer who earn money from photography, do they can survive?

This seems like an advert for Instagram to me....
Oh look at the end of the thing... They (probably) paid for it too.

Great information. I personally don't think "art" when i think about photography, Photography for me is a great medium for photojournalism and documentary .
