Vintage photos vs electronic images

I personally prefer using electronic images because i feel that you can get a better image. While you can get more style points for a cool vintage photo, i prefer high quality images. I think that people should choose which they like though.

My style

One recurring style in my works is nature. I enjoy taking pictures of nature and admiring the beauty. A picture may outlast nature. With the way we destroy nature, pictures of nautre may become more sought out. I will enjoy my pictures of nature for a long long time.

Edited and Saturated

I do not edit or saturate my pictures. I do not think that i will end up remembering these years as overly vibrant and i hope that my children don't come to look at the past as too colorful. I don't think it will be overedited to me, but for some people it may be that way.

You just never know how your photos might be needed

I would definitely be willing to share my photos. I would want to find the perpetrator and bring them to justice. In my opinion you should try every way to catch the person who does something like this. People like this are not mentally stable and could cause even more death. I would gladly show my photos to the FBI, and if they wanted my help in any other way i would gladly bring that dude to justice.

How far is too far?

I think that going too far is the worst thing the paparazzi can do. How do i define too far though? Well when a person can't leave their house or restaurante without being surrounded by the paparazzi is way too far. Another problem is that their children become bothered by the paparazzi. Some kids don't get to have a semblance of a regular childhood because their parent is too famous.

If i were a celebrity i would definitely protect my child. I would have an underground parking garage only accessible to me and my family so that when i left work i would be in a car already and they wouldn't be able to get any pictures.

Is anything private anymore?

I believe to an extent things are private, but it really depends on who you are. I for one do not own a facebook, twitter, tumblr, digg, myspace, or any other social networks (though i don't think i did delete my old myspace). I would say that i have a fair amount of privacy, but if you have social networks you tend to post things that are irrelevant or that nobody cares about. These posts can range from creepy to things you should've kept private. I also believe fame has lots of effect on privacy. Famous people get very little privacy. An example of this is during the filming of the Harry Potter movies, Daniel Radcliffe would always have paparazzi waiting just outside of the film building waiting to take his picture. He got so tired of it that he decided to play a practical joke. Every day after filming Daniel would leave the set but make sure to grab his special jacket. He would exit the building in the same jacket every day so any pictures the paparazzi would take would make it look like they were all taken in one day. This is an extreme case of privacy deprivation, but i think to a lesser extent people are making their lives less private.

Is instagram revolutionizing photohraphy or causing its demise?

I have never used instagram and likely never will. Regardless of the fact that i have never used it, i still have some pretty strong opinions about it as well as some preconceived notions. I first of all have been lead to believe through constant surfing of the internet that half of the photos on instagram are what people had for lunch. I know it isn't true, but I also know that this used to be quite the thing to do. I don't like the thought of a program like instagram where you can slap a filter on an average photo and if you get the right filter it could be considered good. It causes a misconception that someone is actually a good photographer when they really might just be average.
I will say that instagram has done a few good things, one of those things being opened many people up to photography. With smartphones becoming more available, and in most cases dominant over other phones, people use apps like instagram. The increased quality from the cameras is also a good breakthrough that helped to interest people in photography. I think instagram opened the door for many people to enjoy photography but i think many people use instagram far too often. I think used in moderation it is alright, but some people don't know when to stop.
