His conclusion may make sense in his essential worldview of journalism and social networking. "transform[s] an otherwise innocuous photo of an empty field near Fukushima into an entirely different object."
But as someone who enjoys seeing his work printed, and especially printed large, and captures images of things that no camera phone can capture, I reject his conclusion that standalone cameras have reached their evolutionary end. The path has forked: with the tools of deliberate craftsmen and artisans going one way and social networkers the other. What camera phones really do is separate networking snapshooters from the much smaller group of folks like us. And t'aint nothin' wrong with that. On the rare occasion that I'm in snapshot mode I'd rather have a simple device with the simplicity of a Brownie box than my complex and bulky DSLR.
