A Camera in Every Pocket

Question: How do you feel the popularity of cell phones embedded with high-quality cameras has changed the nature of photography?  
(Consider not only today, but also what you know about the early days of the medium and the lengths photographers went to get the images they envisioned.) 

  Ever since cellphones became popular, people feel like they have the world in their hands. They can call, text, take pictures, and even pay bills on their cellphones. The popularity of cameras in cellphones have changed photography, no doubt. Previously, photographers used to be called to special events like weddings to take photos, but now people would rather take photos by themselves on their phone. And as cameras on cellphones become more advanced, people are feeling less need to buy expensive cameras. It is a lot easier to click a photo on your cellphone, then it is to take a good photo with the proper settings on a camera. According to a Guardian photographer, Eamonn McCabe, digital has become lazy; "you snap away thinking one of these shots will work, rather than capturing the image." I feel like these cameras on cellphones have created a lack of effort in photography recently. Previously, photographers needed to wait till they got to a darkroom and produce their photo to see how their photos turned out, but now, you can take photos in seconds. Overall, the embedding of high quality cameras on smartphones has caused a decline for regular cameras and the nature of photography.
