Thank you for the explanation. We have joke in Brazil in which a candidate for council grabbed a crate of beer bottles and started to talk. A bunch of people gathered around and, as the speech elongated almost everyone has left, except for one guy. The candidate thanked him effusively and asked him: "What in my speech has made you stay here ?" The guy replied: "I have to take this crate back to the bar before my boss return".
No matter where, sometimes we do not even notice, we always carry something in common. Cheers.

Many photographers have artist's eyes, some do not. To me photography is a medium, like oils, pastels, etc. Some people can use that medium to a great extent, creating art.
First Anhanga, that is one of the most humorous lines about photography I have read in a while, is it yours or were you quoting someone? Traderjoe, I know your messing with us, as this topic in various ways seems to come up fairly often in this forum.

No, I am not quoting anyone. That line was already explained on a previous post. I would certainly use quotation marks if that was. Cheers.
There has never been a definition of art that has been universally recognized. There will always be those who call photography a "craft" instead of art. This applies to ALL crafts. Where is the line between? No one knows. All creative endeavors have this ambiguity.
