Digital BW, The Print

Also picture a bunch of people (art director, talent agent, client representative etc) sitting watching a studio photography session with iPads linked in so they can see the images being created by the photographer wherever they sit rather than crowding around the unwieldy computer display.  A selection is sent to the ad exec or client with ultimate sign-off authority for review and he or she picks them up via their 3G/4G/wifi network while on the road. 

It's not just about young versus old or high standard versus low standard. It's also about having technology open up new ways of working. 

The iPad is already a godsend for people like me that need to review presentations created by juniors while I am travelling.

Embrace. Apple's first attempt (Newton) failed because the technology wasn't there.  Now it's rocking!

> I think you are very correct. Lots of differences between young and old.. Largely I think and I'll say this politely ok...We old codgers have a pretty high standard.. and also a high expectation.. The younger group are far more flexible in their standards and expectations.. About a month ago I watched an out of town artist do a presentation to a couple of gallery owners.. He did the whole thing on an Ipad with them standing around him.. He was flipping images with his finger and sharing info about each.. They could easily go back and forth... I happen to do the reproductions on a few of these and they didn't look quite right on the screen.. It didn't matter.. Don't laugh it was sort of like watching 5x7 trannies fly around on a baby light table.. well if you squinted a little maybe... This is the first time I have been in a space quiet like that and I'll say I was surprised how well it went.. I think I was looking at tomorrow.. So stepping back an Ipad might be a great place to carry your portfolio around.....as long as it was acceptable.....and I think it will be.. Everytime I see someone using an Iphone in think..."Beam me up Scotty".. Anyway I think we need to try to stay with it as in some ways we can help shape it..
