Have you ever considered the idea that you’re in the time-travel business? Not literally, of course, but professional photographers do preserve the memories and images of the present for the benefit of those living in the future, allowing our future selves and those as yet unborn to experience the legacy of our creations.

Other people’s futures, that is.

What might the future of the photography business look like for the next generation, and what can we do today to help shape and ensure the security of that future?
Who will take over from you when you’re gone?
