set in a future that included a person with a camera.\u00a0 Is it that when thinking about the future we believe the idea of photography to be pass\u00e9\u00a0or perhaps\u00a0superfluous considering we\u00a0will all have a camera implant\u00a0or maybe its that every picture really has\u00a0been taken at some point.\u00a0 I&#8217;m guessing that will happen pretty soon.<\/p>\n<p>At least Fuji
