The art of photography

We live in a world where there is a camera at instant access for most people. Just reach into your back pocket and you have one. Taking photos is a simple easy process that can happen instantaneously. But what are we even taking photos of? Is it our friend with a funny face, or your dog being cute. You get it, there's a constant flow of images. Where did the art of photography go. I’m not saying only take photos if they are life changing, inspirational shots, but I feel like more people should appreciate the work that goes into some photos. Since we can take them immediately, I think people have forgotten the amount it work to get one shot. It had to be perfect, you only had so much film. All I want out of this is for more people to appreciate the time and effort stunning photos take while they intake their constant stream of images.
