Has Facebook Killed the Photograph?

A great discussion featuring one of my grad school professors talking about the future of photography.  Has the rise of social media sites like Facebook turned photography from an object to more of a shared activity?

"Being Upstate"

A new photographic exhibit called "Being Upstate" by Carlos Loret De Mola is being shown at the Center for Photography at Woodstock.  It is a show that expresses the artist's feelings about upstate life.  Take a look at the work here:

What do you think of the work?  Does it relate at all to your thoughts of being upstate?  Do you feel the pieces (done with color film in a large-format camera) work well together?
