Scoopt: the citizen journalist's photographic agency

via The Presurfer

Another example of the democratization of the media. Just recently, when that Air France jet skidded into the ravine at Pearson International, the papers published photos of the event taken on cameraphones. It was the same deal when the tsunami hit. Time has become the great limitation of the pro photographer. By the time the so-called pro is on the scene, the best shots are taken by buddy with his phone.
