My 10 year old grandson, Boaz, told my son, Eric, that he wanted a cell phone. Eric asked him why. Boaz said he wanted to be able to take pictures. Eric said, “I’ll get you a camera instead.” Boaz asked,”What’s a camera?” Yikes!
We don’t think of those things until they happen. This younger generation wouldn’t know what a vcr is, let alone a camera. Even some of the best professional photographers have started to experiment with using only a cell phone.
In fact, one of my favorite film directors, Steven Soderbergh, has a movie called ‘Unsane’ which he shot using iPhone 7s. No joke. I know! I can’t wait to see it. I read that the phone cameras gave it a sort of ‘Blair Witch Project’ feel, but you couldn’t tell it was shot with iPhones. Crazy.
