Dreamscapes : Slow Photography Movement
"My new quest in life is to create a slow photography movement, not
unlike the slow food movement. I’ve noticed a somewhat alarming trend
in recent years, especially during 2011/12. Yesterday as I made my way
home along a slow, winding dirt road in central Vermont I listened to a

report stated that during the ’08 campaign YouTube viewers watched 1

2,000 years worth! The point was that media is being generated and
consumed at an unprecedented rate and volume and in the case of
advertising can be modified and redistributed rapidly depending on
effectiveness using real time data."
