- Topic: Photography <–> Art Photography <–> Photographic Art, What’s the diff?
- About ten of us met and had a wide-ranging discussion. Jake brought some notes:
- Photography <–> Art Photography <–> Photographic Art, What’s the diff?
- Good Photography is mindful of composition and inventive use of equipment
- When does that become Art Photography?
- And when does That become Photographic Art?
- And, in the end, is it useful to make these distinctions?
- Photography, like other creative pursuits, has been inundated by the masses as tools and publishing platforms have gotten easier to use
What has this mass of creators meant for art? Photography? Quality in the creative media? - Two recent discoveries discuss these issues:
- What happened to Art Criticism by James Elkins a brief (90 page) essay on the entire history of art criticism
- When Writers Had Reality Checks by Kate Taylor (Globe & Mail, August 29th)
