“The Death of Photography”

death-of-photography-matt-weberRecently I was told by a very knowledgeable fellow that photography was dead, and that we had entered the post photography era, or something to that effect. Well maybe the fact that everyone has a camera and is photographing every single person on this planet, could have devalued the art slightly.

I’m not an expert on the business end, and I may be the worst business person on earth, but there has been a big change in actual prints and how they are sold. An Edward Weston pepper will still get furious bidding, but many other living photographers (Like myself) are finding it harder to sell even our best images….

Bla bla bla. I know this is old news.

Michael Jordan 1991

michael-Jordan-matt-weberI’ve been watching the 2014 NBA finals and Lebron James is clearly the league’s best player, but the Spurs are the deepest and best coached team I have seen in a long time. Their ball distribution is the best and they are so selfless across the board that they can win when Duncan or Parker have an off night. I wonder how the 1991 Bulls would have matched up against the Spurs. Would they have had an answer for Michael they way they’ve managed to slow down James? This picture shows Michael just splitting through the Knicks like butter. The debate over who’s better, Lebron or Michael is a good one, but I think Michael is still the greatest player of all time…
