Photography is a lesser art. Anyone can point and click; the camera does all the art for you. Might as well take a picture of something interesting like your nutsack or something. Did you know that you can find lots and lots of pictures of anuses on wikimedia commons?: I think the whole purpose of that site is for Jimmy Wales to horde such pictures. |

"Photography is a lesser art. Anyone can point and click" The art of photography is in the composition and film processing (nowadays Photoshop post-processing). Yes, "anyone" can take a snapshot, but not everyone can take a good photo. |

Lol, you are a funny, ignorant man. :) Only people who know nothing about photography and aren't good at it say things like that. |

i agree with w M w's sentiment that photography is a lesser art (compared to, say, writing, music and painting). ernest hemingway? check. claude debussy? check. pablo picasso? check. photographer? who the fuck cares? don't get me wrong; i love photos. actually i go to photo galleries as often as i can, but where's the "REAL" creativity behind taking a photograph? as a writer you string together words and sentences to a unified whole. as a musician you string together notes and phrases to a unified whole. as painter you string together colors and shapes to a unified whole. as a photographer you take a snapshot of whatever is happening right NOW. there's a big difference you know. |

Photography is hard to pin down. Some photos are art, some are just snapshots. Some are composed, some are improvised, some are totally random. Like a piano, anyone can press a key and make it go. It's the end results that matter. From MySpace self-portraits to Spencer Tunick's Naked States project, there's a spectrum of quality and artistic involvement. It's the same for most things, really. |

Anyone can write. Anyone can compose music. Anyone can paint. Anyone can snap a photo. The art is in having something to say, and executing that concept well. |

Sometimes I wonder what's going on in XLT then realize that everyone is arguing about concepts. alt+F4 |
