Barnum’s rival David Hannum I kind of agree, but there are some people who buy photos just for wall decoration such as in an office building. I would not call it art... perhaps decor is the word?

You have to admit the photo is unique. It could be impossible to exactly duplicate that camera shake.

He is probably of the same "genus" as PeterN. As for marketing of this stuff thank fineartamerica.com As far as the 'fine art' classification goes, that is as always in the eye of the beholder. -- Regards, Savageduck

Ron C Well you know it's fine art when the "artist" offers it on a throw pillow, or a shower curtain.

Happy accidents happen all the time, and art needn't be deliberate. It's in the eye of the beholder, not in the hand of the maker. On cannot decide to make "art" or decide one has made "art". If others enjoy the end result, they may decide it has artistic value. A lot of what art is is found in the interpretation of the viewer. Let's say you're a street photographer and want to take a shot of a little girl on the street, you're composing your shot and are momentarily unable to see the surroundings, and just when you hit the shutter, someone walks into frame. Darn it, you think. But when you look at it later, and especially when others look at it, you realize that this "happy accident" led to the photo being able to be interpreted in a new an unexpected way. Here's just a shot like that, by Juan Buhler: http://photoblog.jbuhler.com/wp-content/uploads/20120714-JBK59750.jpg Is it "art"? Well, do you like it, does it speak to you? Art, it seems, is deeply related to emotions, so if something created by someone else creates a specific emotion for you, then I'd say chances are that it's art in some form. The shot in your OP is similar, it's an happy accident that the creator or people in his vicinity had an emotional response with. Maybe it's the colors, or the abstract familiarity of it? I don't know, but just because you know it's an accident doesn't preclude it from being art. -- Sandman
