Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do something.

True still photography (as in push the button and capture a moment in
one picture) is going to be an endangered species very soon.
i think the future is hyperphotography — everything photographed
always, in great detail, constantly transmitted and available to
anyone; you might call this video, but you will never watch more than
a tiny fraction of it, so most tools for working with photographs or
video will seem useless; calling out a moment of it will seem trivial;
we will give our visual experience over to virtual dumpster divers,
most of them automatons, who constantly sift vast heaps of imagery to
build the highly filtered montage that humans will experience; only
underprivileged people will spend much time looking at their actual
physical surroundings
of course hyperphotography is just a prelude to direct abstract visual
stimulation in a new language of thought, based less on literal
imagery and more on ideas refracted through linguistic filters,
forming highly differentiated visual dialects
