Dear Pedro,
For me the emphasis is not on still image, but on personal broadcasting. In fact, not broadcasting - moving something personal in real time to recipient. At first your voice, now your photographs, after a while ? your personal video. And what more? Moving yourself!!!???
I wish you all the best,
Boris Budinas

You may be interested to know that, due to security concerns, the the US Navy has already outlawed the use of camera-phones in and around many of their military installations.

Friends,
Last evening I had a lovely conversation with Tony Bannon, Director of the George Eastman House. He is a bright and soft spoken man who has the soul of a poet. Very easy to like. Of course I had to ask him the burning question of the 20th century; "What is the GEH's take on collecting digital prints?"
"How a photographer works isn't up to the museum", said he, "the artist decides what's best for him and we accept what ever that is." He went on..."But there is a digital river flowing out there and we want it to run right through the GEH."
He felt, however, that digital prints are the least of it. He is planning a completely electronic gallery, using HD plasma screens, that would display photographs that do not exist as hard copy, images beamed directly from the digicam via laptop/modem to a receiver at GEH and made available for viewing to the public, with the visitors themselves selecting the images on the screens. In other words, he's already way past prints in terms of what they are looking for.
This is not to say that GEH will no longer collect or display any and all forms of photo "display" (his term for prints & screen). They own more than 6,000,000 objects, 140,000 of which have been digitized and are available on their web site.
Regarding what to call digital prints? "What ever the artist wants to call it. Eventually we will have to settle on a term for them, but that will happen in its own time. We can wait" /CS
