Robert, >>>>>>>ART= Any Realization Translated Any time someone is struck by something to create a tangible translation of that realization, it is art. Simply realizing that a sunset is beautiful is not art. A photo of it is. A poem about it is. A painting of it is. So is a song about it. Your camera accidently firing does not create art. The realization that these random firings are creating images that defy artistic catagorization and collecting them is.<<<<<<< I enjoy this "Realization Translated" considering it a foundation of the world in which we work as photographers. "Camera Notes" comes to mind. I also would like to add a question, Should some form of discipline be required? Are you an artist simply because you wrote a song about a sunset? Or, does the writing of a song require formal construct that focuses the viewer or listener? I can neither sing, nor write music, but if I do am I an artist?
