On the eve of DPC's 10 year anniversary, it might be interesting to reflect on our collective history.
Here's the first blue-ribbon-winning photo on DPC and my current take on it.
Langdon's image number number was 71, mine 922565 - almost 1 Million images later.
Big resolution then: 640 x 480 - now at least one order of magnitude bigger in each dimension, two orders of magnitude in total.
Photoshop 2.5 then, CS5.5 now.
The world then, simpler - now more complex.
In 2002, Facebook didn't exist, no Twitter, no YouTube, Google hadn't gone public.
I am interested in your reflections on then vs. now, on your first digital photo experience vs. now, on your personal journey photographically. |
