How about this for a for a better title for the "Texas Medium Format Massacre" thread?
Actually, I think film photography was what began the devaluation of the visual arts. Before photos, a painting was a unique object, difficult to reproduce. Although no two prints are exactly the same, good copies can be made and even the negative can be copied. No one objects to getting a copy of a photograph, and the "original" print only has extra value to a collector. The digital image just carries this reproducibility one more step.
