openDemocracy, in collaboration with [the Photographer's Gallery](http://www.photonet.org.uk/index.php?id=108,750,0,0,1,0&ref=opendemocracy.net) and [LOOK 07](http://www.look07.com/?ref=opendemocracy.net), launched [the Democratic Image blog](http://thedemocraticimage.opendemocracy.net/?ref=opendemocracy.net) yesterday. It will run until the 22nd of april.

The topic of interest you ask? Photography in the digital world. Today we published the thoughts of [Marysa Dowling](http://www.marysadowling.co.uk/?ref=opendemocracy.net) (photographic artist) on digital media:

*This leads onto a fear I’ve had since digital photography has been widely adopted, that the only pieces of our history left will be the aspects we have constructed and want to show, everything else is constantly being deleted along the way. There won’t be any mistakes. We won’t be able to go to a car boot sale and find piles of slides or negatives of someone else’s family history.*
