I have noted many times that if you talk to another audiophile, chances

are good that you'll find that his "other" hobby is photography.


Yet anyone with a cell phone or a tablet today is a photographer.
You might find this article interesting.

If the author is correct....the likely outcome for people who want to enjoy
high end hardware photography with all the lens and filters etc. will find
the cost skyrocketing as equipment manufacturers find themselves catering to
a shrinking niche market....just as "high-end" audio manufacturers.
Of course the kids will be enjoying video and become accomplished at even
greater image creation through the use of software while old school
photographers cry about a dying art.

Audio_Empire, that is interesting and true for me. I never thought of
it before. I wonder why that is the case.

ScottW, everybody takes pictures. Few people who take pictures are
photographers. Several actual photographers have done remarkable work
with iPhones. It isn't the equipment. It's what you do with it.
