photo future

as long as people had been painting they had been trying their best to portray exactly what they saw. Then the camera came along and was able to do this much easier.  Painters didn't see and future in photo realism painting. This gave way to the Abstract movement.  Digital cameras have been trying now to photograph exactly what is seen.  How many megapixels can we put into one image?  The age of abstract photography is upon us and we have no choice but to let this wave hit us in the chest.
