This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. What is the past and present state of photography? Is it dead, or just waking up? How can past technologies inform us about ourselves, and even help us predict the future?
I am a full time commercial and event photographer. It was a strong interest that turned into a money-making thing that turned into how I make almost all my money.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Talbot used a Camera Lucida as a drawing aid, not a Camera Obscura. Sir John Herschel discovered fixer, not Talbot. Talbot also made his first photographs (most famously the lattice window) along with his ’sun pictures’ (early photograms) in 1835, not 1839. (1839 was the year both he and Daguerre published their discoveries in England and France, respectively). Sorry to be pedantic but if you’re educating people in history and planning to write a book, do it proper.

Yeah. I should have put in a bit more about the future. My prediction is that technology will continue to detach people from actual tangible involvement with image making, like chemistry, wet paper, metal dials and larger amounts of time wondering if the film is OK. But also people will find richness in the history of photography and indulge in tintypes and other vintage processes making the future full of anachronisms.

Great talk Leif, very entertaining. I agree that along with the latest technological developments, traditional photographic processes will also have place. I have been doing alternative processes of late and began to develop my own B&W film and its a blast.

He is dressed as a magician because he is trying to illustrate the "magic" of the photographic image.

why are you forgetting Chinese philosopher mozi who discovered that light passing through a pin hole into a dark roomWill make upside down picture and this phenomena is the key technology of today's cameras

This is unique, but definitely no future. It is an art form, which is fun to do.

Very entertaining and informative, Leif. I would love to mix up chemicals with you and build a Gladys....or perhaps a Hilda or Ermintrude! Lol... Where can I see your work online or in publications? Thanks, Martin (London, England).
