Whatever you say, the importance of photography is completely depreciated. And no wonder - because now you can capture anything you like by simply having a simple gadget on hand and doing it a hundred times. But a couple of decades ago, the opportunity to save on film or paper the moment of life was considered a real event!
Maybe that's why those rare shots today seem really cool to us?
