>I am a photography major working on a Bachelors at Brigham young University
>Idaho. I am writing a paper for an English class, and have chosen the
>topic of "Is Photography Art?"
well i vividly recall the words of a greek art critic,
" art is not what you say, it is the way you say it"
taken that under consideration, art is the way we compose and print a photo.
a candid shot, or even a sports shot is not art (to me) unless otherwise
intented...
I wish to pose this question to all of you on the list, and I humbly request
all of your opinios on the matter. I also would like to ask everyone why do
you photograph? and what, if anything, are you trying to "say" with your
photography?
to that i'll have to lead you to "chilled dellirioum"'s quote in another
subject reply"
"Make visible what, without you, might perhaps never have been seen."
--- Robert Bresson
so...personally i feel i'm trying doing that succesfully just by
photographic parts of an object or a scene-, but maybe it is not for the
others, it is for me i'm doing it, just another effort to discover
myself....
hope that helps,best luck with your paper, kostas
===============================================
so... no matter what, CHEER UP MY FRIENDS! Life is too precious to jump the
other side of the fence...
