Proposal

In this age of digital technology, "art" photography is becoming more and more accessible for the masses. How many times have you walked in to a coffee shop and have seen a photo of a butterfly with a photoshop filter over it, being sold for $150 because it's supposedly art? What IS considered fine art photography in this day and age? With my final project I will be going through a (very) brief history of photography and spawn a conversation of the future of photography. I will also discuss how editing programs like photoshop are affecting the fine art world for photographers.
