Drop The Digital From Photography

I heard it again yesterday for the billionth time: “Digital Photography”. Isn’t it time we drop the word ‘digital’?

Seems we’ve managed to drop the “electric” from “electric guitar” in common parlance.

We found it easy to drop the word “acrylic” from “acrylic painting” when that came on the scene with oils.

We quickly ditched the “digital” from “digital music” when it took the lead over records and tapes and CDs.

I suppose by-and-large our industry has dropped the word, but given that digital and analog photography are fundamentally the same thing, isn’t it time we implore the rest of the world to assimilate the term “digital photography” back into “photography” as a whole?

    The very crux of your writing whilst sounding agreeable originally, did not work perfectly with me after some time. Somewhere throughout the sentences you actually managed to make me a believer but just for a short while. I still have got a problem with your jumps in logic and you might do nicely to fill in those gaps. In the event you can accomplish that, I will certainly end up being amazed.
