Stills+VIDEO

My college photography teacher/mentor once told me of a time that he thought might come, a time where video and photography stop being two different fields. He predicted that a still camera would be able to do everything, and that we would no longer have the fine line that keeps photography and video separate. Well I have some bad news for him, I am awaiting shipment of a canon 7D and could not be more excited. Sure a lot of photography is about capturing the "moment" but I feel that street vignettes in video form, is the future of photog/video. Almost in a Harry Potter picture type manner, do I see galleries of the future displaying their goods. One would see a single tear drop playing in a loop. Some man sitting on a cardboard box slices through a watermelon with just one cleave. These are "moments" while they are not a split second, they in themselves are selective over what is seen, It is no more or less of an art form, there are just as many if not more variables to be selected, than in a still frame. But I digress, I hope the canon gets here soon (especially if the yanks win and there is a parade).
