I'm glad others are commenting here.
In my photography days of old, I specialized in color developing and printing and I absolutely loved and thrived in my very basic darkroom as I printed from both color negatives and slides. I will always have nostalgia for those days and feel quite proud of the work I did back then.
But this is now and I don't want to be in that kind of darkroom again - not that others shouldn't.
We're in a digital age and the ubiquitous nature of screens from phones to tablets to huge screens like the kind in Times Square, etc., make art much more available to "the people"...just as the printing press brought the printed word to "the people" (let's not split hairs about whether Gutenberg really did this or not.
) so I think screens are here to stay until we come up with even more ways to show photography.... However, that article is talking about sculpture, paintings, performance art, installations, etc. and that's "a horse of another color" though for many
access is what is key...
My hope is that the world can have both digital/screen galleries or showplaces, as well as "the real thing" as in bricks and mortar or, as in the article, a forest setting, etc.
