There is talk of technologies like Street View, Photosynth, Flickr etc. and how in the near the future, when all parts of the world will have been photographed, we will no longer have to leave the comfort of our own little private spaces to be image makers.
This will, of course, bring the end of iconic images as one photographer puts it.
The era following this near future will also be known as an age of increasing solipsism … and we will be one really shitty government removed from 1984.

Sometime before christmas, sitting around, having a beer, I asked a friend if he thought it was too late for us, are we to old to go out vagabonding into wars and conflicts.
He said “Yes.”
That killed me a little.
Reading Wim Wenders’ tribute to James Nachtwey this weekend reminded me of that particular conversation.

Tours de béton et de verre sur le chemin de la Côte St-Luc … ce quartier à un ne certain je ne sais quoi qui m’attire. Peut-être, s’il y avait un peu plus d’espace et de verdure entre les bâtiments, il serait beau.

I have only one friend who likes baseball and he’s always busy, and five months out of the year you can’t play baseball in Montreal, and the city lost it’s team eight years ago … I miss baseball.
