New Age Photography

From camera-obscura to the latest in Digital SLR, the world seems to have come a long way. I used to carry a roll camera (analog camera) until a few months ago and I always wished I had something more easy, comfortable and quick and bang, there comes the digital camera. It makes clicking so easy.

And yet, a few months down the line, I've already seen crowd cribbing about the missing features and soon enough, even I joined the gang. How I wish I could capture photographs through yet smaller camera. Or may be, I wish I could take snaps whenever I wished without pulling out the camera and waiting for the lens to take the long 1 second...

And yes, I'm sure, in the decades to come, there will some genius who will probably connect the human eye to some wireless digital technology that will allow you to take snaps at the blink of your eye. And then transfer the images to some 'hard disk' kind of storage device to play around. Sounds like fiction? Give me around 200 years and I'll prove you wrong. Be alive, until then.
