Exactly. An artist can use any medium to make art. I think this student should be hitting the books. Start with Stieglitz. Why do I photograph ? Because I can draw and paint, but this is harder...besides, at some point something clicked, and I think it entered my DNA (via a wayward mitochondria) or something, and now it's part of me. WHat do I have to say with my pix ? If I could write that, I would not have to photograph it...I'd just send e-mails, letters and telegrams instead. Besides, it changes without notice... -- Luis.
