"I think it is quite challenging to imagine how photography will look like after 50 years. Being already such a democratic medium, who could imagine 50 years back how photography will expand the way it has today?
Technology defiantly affects photography to an extent. But if we address the issue from a different direction it might be easier to share my thoughts about it. If we look at how other traditional art forms such as music, literature, poetry, paintings, film have evolved over the years, we are not that concerned about its evolution in the coming years. 50 years in future, I can only hope the power of Photography like any other medium will still lie through its imagery and its stories. Like a good piece of music, we listen to it and go back to it again and again. Same way we can also look at a good photograph and keep looking at it, while it immerse us in its own world."
