In ten years I will still be a photographer. Someone who has a vision and recreates that vision through the means of photography, unlike a digital artist who can recreate the same vision in photoshop. I think photographers need to make a stand and stick with what photography is: Capturing a scene or vision with a camera. If one creates images mainly by the use of photoshop, then that person should consider him/herself a digital artist but not a photographer. And I am not saying that using photoshop is a bad thing, I just think there should (and I think will in the future) be a differentiation between the two crafts.
