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?

    My wife and i felt peaceful when Ervin managed to round up his inquiry from the ideas he obtained from your very own weblog. It is now and again perplexing to simply find yourself handing out tricks that other folks may have been trying to sell. And we recognize we need the writer to thank for this. All of the illustrations you’ve made, the straightforward site navigation, the relationships you give support to instill – it is all wonderful, and it’s really leading our son and the family understand this concept is pleasurable, and that is pretty fundamental. Thank you for the whole thing!
