How simplistic some people thinks, Mr. Hockney starts with photojournalism and ends with art comparing a photo with a Rembrandt drawing in the same essay.

For the art part all I can say is that, artists may reach their limits, but art does not. -Veli Izzet > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:owner-photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of > John Mason > Sent: Thursday, March 04, 2004 7:39 PM > To: List for Photo/Imaging Educators - Professionals - Students > Subject: Photographers are Dodos > > Just give up folks.
