Is Photography Over?

The question posed by the SFMOMA was, "is photography over?".  Thirteen people responded to the question offering up different views on the question.  A majority of the thirteen said that photography is not over.  Many of the 13 thought it essential to define photography first.  I liked Walead Beshty's definition of photography.  "Photography... seems best described as a type of 'medium' or 'an agency or means of doing something".  After reading the responses I do not think photography is over.  I think that photography as a medium cannot be fixed.  It must always be malleable and open to new ideas and techniques.  There are always going to be changes and advancements throughout time.
