Oh, no we're back on the "art or not art" thing again
Scarpitti is a pathetic troll - killfile him and don't worry about his
assinine statements. By his standards the only Art there can be is the famous Toro Fecco. -- http://www.chapelhillnoir.com home of The Camera-ist's Manifesto The Improved Links Pages are at http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/links/mlinks00.html A sample chapter from my novel "Haight-Ashbury" is at http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/writ/hait/hatitl.html "David Nebenzahl" wrote in message ... On 1/26/2004 5:24 PM Colyn spake thus: (Michael Scarpitti) wrote: Photography is not 'art'. Photography has long been considered an art form.. Not by me, certainly, and not by a certain minority, even here. Just because it has entered the popular pantheon of Things Which Must Be True, just because Reader's Digest and Popular Photography and your art/photography teacher in high school think so, just because the great unwashed masses think it so doesn't make it so. But I recognize this is a completely losing battle, so I'm not fighting it anymore. I just do not accept photography as art. I accept photography as photograhy; sui generis, to use the 75-cent term. Why not just accept it on its own terms? -- Focus: A very overrated feature. - From Marcy Merrill's lexicon at Junk Store Cameras (http://merrillphoto.com/JunkStoreCameras.htm) |
