With digital photography, I think sometimes it is assumed that since the camera is doing it for us, how can our images still turn out so badly? Even with an SLR, the camera can make mistakes that wipe out details, turn the sky a strange blue, or be completely out of focus.
Seeing the level of detail they use to determine accurate color and resolution was eye-opening in a way because in our everyday prints, there is hardly a pause for when things are slightly pixelated and most of us produce photos on our iPhones anyway, instead of printing images - in that sense, we don't recognize poor resolution or quality in our photos because we never have to view them outside of our phones, Facebook albums, or computer screens. "Accuracy" is also not really emphasized with the onslaught of camera filters like Hipstamatic and Instagram that warp colors into a retro fashion. This doesn't mean the printed photograph means any less to us, especially when we think of fine art prints, but our ideas of documentation, how we use photographs - to capture moments, and memories - maybe has been altered and our approach to our memories altogether.
