Could Photography Become a Dying Art? As improvements in technology come, as we become more interested in producing images clearer and more technologically sound, but we forget to see the beauty of a photograph as an art form.  With photography we can hold the past in the present; the moment is frozen in time.  We must remember that, as art, we can bring out the emotions, feeling and memories, not only that we wish to keep but in the recipient of the photo as well.  So many pictures are taken with no thought of the artistic nature of the photo. ‘Snap, snap…’ next place, item or person.  We are not thinking about the subject we are snapping.  Entering a new technological stage, with 3D photography and filming, it will be too easy to lose this art form to technical precision.  Remember that what we take for granted today is somthing that can touch people forever.  Our ability to see the art, emotion and feeling in something, someone or someplace can produce a piece of art that will last forever.  Heartfelt vision is drowning into obscurity in the midst of our technological storm and photography is becoming a lost art.  I implore artists out there to follow their heart, open their eyes and use the technologicall toys as instruments of vision, emotion and feeling. ~Brain Leshley
