Video = future of photography? Oh hell yes. :)

Things like strobes and and RAW editing keep still photographs solidly relevant for now, but it will be really sweet when the Red cameras become usable with out an attached HDD array.

Oh, quickly note: video = future of photography ≠ future of writing.

Thanks for the inspiration to write this post, and thanks for the comment!

The point you make that should be emphasized over and over again is that journalism schools should set the trends, not follow them. We need to take fresh ideas to the real-world newsrooms instead of catching up once we get there.

Also, great comment you make about video being "cautiously" integrated into every major.

On an unrelated note (but kind of related) I'd like to add that video is the future of photography. Richard Koci Hernandez and the SJ Merc crew have used HD video frame grabs in lieu of cameras for years. Equipment like the Canon EOS 5D Mark II and Nikon D90, only further reinforce the relationship photogs will have with video. Point being that at least basic video editing is necessary for all journos (even photogs).

But again, caution and balance are the key, as you said (sorry for the tangent :)). Great post!
