The main difference seems to be that, whereas photography still claims some sort of objectivity, digital imaging is an overtly fictional process.

Computer photography won't be photography as we know it. I think photography will always be chemical.
Because love is the meeting point of truth and magic. Truth, as in photography; magic, as in ballooning.
What's happened is that the digital age has made photography more accessible to people. Everyone is a photographer. But to do it [photography] at a certain level, well, there's a skill to it. Still, it's a good time for photography now.
