"Photography is not dead and if we can harness all the creativity and tools available to us, we can make some amazing work and deliver it to audiences we never dreamed of reaching before. I see this as an empowering and exciting time." Ami Vitale, documentary photographer, as quoted from her website, http://www.amivitale.com/.
Ami is an amazing photographer. I had the opportunity to spend a weekend with her and other photographers in 2008 discussing documenting life and making extraordinary images of the same. It was a weekend well spent and I've redoubled my photographic efforts since that weekend. Her quote above, of very recent vintage, comes at a difficult time for many photographers and may be just the inspiration to get the creative juices flowing again.
Also check out her video shot with the new Nikon 300S at the same website.
