Event: Photography 2.0

This Thursday, ICP is presenting a panel discussion on the radical changes technology has brought to photography, particularly photojournalism. Entitled "Photography 2.0: A New Paradigm?", the panel will cover trends arising from the rapid development of digital photography and the ever-present camera phone, enabling the rapid, easy sharing of amateur photography. What does this mean for the long-term value of professional photography? What does that mean for our presumed standards of quality and thoughtfulness associated with the professional photographer?

This panel is sponsored by Getty Images, which just purchased Scoopt, an agency for "citizen photojournalism", so to speak. Getty's news director, Pancho Bernasconi, is on the panel.

Moderator: Fred Ritchin, ICP Associate Chair, Dept. of Photography Director, PixelPress
