    Nope... Not about art. About
        craft.

        And I want in to the Instagram fad before it
          dematerializes.

          
          But My Iphone (version 00.01)  died and I
            thought it prudent to wait for 5 ... No sooner was 5 out
            than talk of 6 was all the rage... I'm waiting...

            
            Or maybe I'll buy a 4 sometime...

              
              Or maybe a 90MP Hasselblad back.

                
                Or a 120MP Samsung
                    Geniusphone (Way smarter than a smartphone)... With a little birdie that chirps just
                      before the image is made and autosmile/auto open-eyes/auto slimming/auto
                      hairstyling.

      As you both know ad work isnt about art. Its about
        marketing to a demographic in a way they can relate to.    The
        hot thing is instagram.  So professionals are askes to make work
        that looks like that.    Low fi has been the trend for almost a
        decade and what defines low fi cool keeps getting more and more
        low fiish

           I wish we had a few ad agencies in Santa
                Fe!  Maybe I could get a little work from them.... so I could buy myself some cool technology...
                  maybe an iphone... And then Instagram...

                    I liked the quote:

                    "film still carries a symbolic weight, that of
                    sophistication and craf

              The move to digital was a bit premature, for as usual
                in the US, we claim we don’t even though we do believe
                everything pouring out of advertising agencies. 
              

              All a manufacturer has to do is make a slick looking
                ad for some technological wonder (a car, portable
                device, camera, phone) and you’ll have 75% of the men in
                the country panting like they’re in heat. If gear heads
                spent more time with people than machines, we would have
                a more understanding and friendlier society.
