I just read this on CNN.com in an article about Time Magazine's top 10 photos of the year....just think about it...no wonder cell phone photo technology is growing by leaps and bounds and the big camera manufacturers are always trying to come up with the next big thing!
Ten percent of all of the photographs made in the entire history of photography were made last year — an astounding figure. More than ever before, thanks in part to cell phone technology, the world is engaged with photography and communicating through pictures."
Wow. That is really incredible. Of course digital has massively changed how people shoot, but that's just crazy. Of course, I took a couple thousand photos with my iPhone this past year, and I don't use it as a camera very much (I put 25,000 on my real cameras).
