Digital photography has totally devalued the worth of photographs. When the majority of photos were taken on slide film each image was a unique and precious sliver to be treasured. It was an original, a one-off, only able to be reproduced by printing. That slide offered the supreme possibility of the image. Digital pictures have none of this preciousness.
