So for one of my courses I have to write a paper regarding digital photography. It's a pretty broad topic, but a complex one at that. Some people think digital photography is...well, they think that digital images aren't photography. Others think that it's become less of an art as it has become more accessible to the masses and it has become so manipulable. And those are just a few thoughts on digital photography.

I was wondering two things:

1.) What are your views on digital photography?

And,

2.) Any ideas on something I could analyze? A specific use of digital photography, current events that have employed the use of digital photography, &c. ?

I would really appreciate and value any input coming from the wealth of knowledge here.
