Other visual artists--sculptors, painters, etc.--can provide us with wonderful nudes, portraits, landscapes, still lifes (lives?), street scenes, charming vistas, cats, babies, and so on. We don't really need photography to do these things. It's good that photography does them, but we could do without. We can't, however, do without photojournalism (whether still, video, or film--still being king) and documentary photography. There's no substitute, 19th century newpaper etchings and 21st century courtroom sketch artists not withstanding. I don't mean to suggest that these are the only forms of photography for which there is no adequate substitute. Astrophotography and scientific photography in general come immediately to mind. As does the family snapshot (as opposed to formal portrait). --John ===== J.
