RE: Art vs craft was PF Galleries

I always thought that a craft was something you learned as an apprentice and
practised in a workshop, like basket weaving or craftsman's built chair, or
joinery as applied to woodwork.  The craft in photography is the work your
technician carried out in the photo-lab or in the studio with the lamps and
backgrounds.

Art is in the design of a photo or a chair, in the painterly art of making a
picture.

Art is in the mind of the creator, a craftsman interprets this to an
artefact.

So for many photographers, photography involves both art and craft in one
person, the photographer.
