Title: Towards the 21st Century

      The thing that drew me into this article was the fact that it talked about the progression of photography into the 21st century. Even though I was born at the end of the 20th century, I have noticed a changing world of photography, such as the switch from film to digital.
     This article wasn't very long, but it provided a link to Thomas Ruff's work, and the author of this article thought he was one of the best examples of photographers keeping up with the changing times. It says he experiments with all different subjects and mediums of photography and fearlessly tries new techniques to keep up with the ever changing art.
     I really liked the article, and it made me wonder if I was further along in my career as a photographer would I be able to handle the change as well as some of the more established photographers have. Would I be able to roll with the punches and take the opportunities I'm handed to adjust my style to keep up with all the change.
     I'd love to learn more about the different changes occurring in the world of photography. I know we've almost completely switched to digital, but what else has changed. What is now acceptable that wasn't when I first began being interested in photography.
