One “wall” around 2000
Hello, this is Yoichi Watanabe, a war photographer.
This time, I would like to talk about the wall of 2000, which personally drew a big line for me as a photographer. What is this “wall” of the millennium from the 90’s to the 2000’s? I will deliver such a story.
The wall is just a “camera”.
The “film camera wall” until the 90’s. “Digital camera wall” since 2000. Around 2000, this dividing line between film and digital began to appear as a wall.
What were the specific changes and differences?
