Petapixel announces that “The Decisive Moment is Dead. Long Live the Constant Moment“.  The article suggests that Cartier-Bresson’s decisive moment (i.e. that there is a certain moment in time that must be captured or lost forever) made sense only in relation to the technology of the time (i.e. film cameras).  With the technology we have now we can do better.  “Imagine an always-recording 360 degree HD wearable networked video camera” the article states.  It goes on to talk about LIDAR technology defined by Wikipedia as “…a remote sensing technology that measures distance by illuminating a target with a laser and analyzing the reflected light.   “What if every phone in every pocket had this technology, and you could consent to have your presence “photographed” from anywhere on Earth at any time, by sharing your own connection with another artist, and vice versa?”.     It’s interesting to see what the members of the Rangefinder Forum had to say about this.  If this is the way things are going I’m not sure I want to be there.
