Digital photography

Nah. I'm lucky enough to work with people who really want to change live music, and keep it changing. So I don't know where you got that from.

The situation with stock photography isn't really comparable. Can't see how you think it is.

And my point was: if you want to take a proper camera into a venue, and they won't let you, "deal with it!". As is so popular.

1. I never said all music doesn't want to change. The music I still gladly pay to experience hinges on continually pushing forward. Think Ninja Tune etc. The "deal with it" attitude grew from producers/venue owners or musicians that were too grounded in the old way of thinking which is "leech every penny". If " dealing with it" means giving up for you then you misunderstand me. I mean adapt. They stop you using an slr? use a rangefinder, no flashes? position for lighting. The list can go on. The crappy excuse of "Proper/Professional" camera is such a load of shit, you tell that to Capa who was rolling around in asa50 film and still shot magic. Go on Instagram any day, pick a good account and there are people that shoot on iPhone4's that would shame many so called professionals.
   
   

Of course stock Photography is similar, similar in the sense that it's the Photographic business model that is undergoing a vast shift in how it operates in a rapidly evolving digital era. My stock Photo analogy was to highlight the futility of fighting against the grain.
