The world of John Blakemore, that is one of the black and white master photographer and print maker who produces art photography books, is rapidly receding. It's more than shooting film and having a website to share your images.

There is a shift from printed books to the iPad taking place. It is not either/or. It is print and iPad or tablet publishing in the form of a book rather than a website. Its a way to monetise the images photographers have.

The problem here with bypassing the traditional media is the cost of creating the application to share images. And not many photographers would sell that many apps.
