Since i have got into photography more seriously, i have noticed how photographers and images makers have become interwoven with the internet. Whether you are a teenage wiz kid using the latest iPhone apps and posting on instagram, a 'celebrity' wedding photographer speaking on creativeLive, or a local professional you can use the web to share your work or promote it. I remember that as a fine art student putting on an exhibition would take weeks of preparation, from sanding, filling and painting the walls to advertising the show and putting on a private viewing. Now with photographic art i can take pictures, process them and exhibit them on-line within hours - minutes if i am using my iPhone. And my hands are not quite as wrecked!
The internet is no substitute for a gallery but i'm loving it as a quick, fun and dynamic alternative. So watch this 'gallery' space............
