change is the operative word lately.
technology has created a new photo environment and if we don't change and adapt it will pass us by like a semi on the freeway.

But in landscape you still have people shooting large format sheet films and they sell images like crazy. Actually heard one of the top guys speak at the WPPI (yeah it was strange that he spoke but they specifically invited him because of his works) and he talked about several of his compatriots that shoot LF. Now he does drum scan his images then does PS work on those files before using modern digital printers-talked about a shot that he did in Alaska (was actually on display at the Fuji Booth on the trade room floor) which was taking I believe he said 16 5x7 images and then weaving them together to produce this panoramic shot that was like 36 x 144 inches in size. (btw that print sells for over $15,000 I believe).
