Ok I sead it wrong... it didn't kill photography, it killed the photography business....
You hardly see anyone developing pictures anymore, or stamping them to keep then in an album.
You hardly see a professional photographer ad a party, just 100 guys with digital cameras shooting at anyting that moves (or doesn't)
You don't see pictures sold for advertising at high prices... I had to close my studio because they weren't willing to pay my asking prices, since they pretended to pay lower prices just because it was digital. My friends in italy had to close their studios because there were hundreds of novice photographers that would work for much less.... and it is understandable, you don't need to be a genious to make a digital picture, you don't even need to know how to take it.
About one year ago I asisted at a photoshooting of a local rock band, they rented my old VW westfalia to make the pictures, well the photographer took about 800 pictures that day... YOU BET that out of that many pictures 5 or 6 were good... but in my days when you went to a photoshooting with film cameras you might have taken 200 pictures TOPS, and that is if you were really looking for that special moment, otherwise it would have to work with one roll of film.
I just think that digital cameras are great. But not for the professional who needed to live out of the photograph.
