Sorry if I end up making the same point as before in similar threads. I get one of the big things Wim is talking about and he is 100% right. People have lost the mental attachment to the power of a still image. For sure people are taking selfies but even so called 'serious amateurs' and even those who consider themselves pro are doing the same thing, posting up hundreds or thousands of images a year. What happened to the portfolio for those serious or the neat digestible album for those less serious? It died because people forgot the value of singular powerful image anchoring much more about what is captured therein than just one point in time, they have forgotten what the purpose of a good photograph is. In fact people aren't taking photographs at all, they are taking a very staccato form of a motion picture of their lives viewed in the 3rd person. In this sense the selfie stick is perfect equipment. I have long predicted that its only data bandwidth and technology in general that is keeping such imagery as still images, very soon all will be replaced by video clips and soon after that by constant live streaming from your google or apple glasses which will replace the mobile phone. Imagine that your entire life viewed from your PoV uploaded into the cloud. Its a terrifying thought but its probably only a couple of years away from becoming a common reality.
