A paint artist doesn't create from nothing. They have an image in their mind and they use materials and tools to bring that vision to canvas, including "capturing a moment" when they have a model pose, or set up a still life to copy.
A photographic artist does EXACTLY the same, just using a different tool.


You're right. I was trying to be too philosophical... or something. ;-)

In all seriousness, no one has a handle on life at 16, barely anyone has a handle on it at 30, and most don't have it at 60.

The sooner you realize that you can't control it, and accept that life just happens, the easier things will be. Really the only thing you can do is minimize the stupid things that you do.

I believe photography is an art. We as photographers see a subject much like a painter and put it to paper in a differnt form, but it's still art. We still have interaction with our subject weither it's a model that we get in the right position or it's a field that we feel bound to. We feel the art in our blood, the craving to snap the shutter. We feel the elation of a finished product. We are artists in our own form.

I didnt really mean it literally. i know i dont have a handle on life. life is what it is. i meant more to get my point across that ladies got men in check; as a joke. ;) just stateing that so you dont think that i was trying to be a "bratty teen" thinking i know everything about the world. Queit honestly. i had a few rough times these past years, & when i got "better" i saw life in a whole new way. everything i saw was the most gorgeous thing, & at that point, photography became my number one passion. Because i was able to catch the beauty of the world. it really has helped healed me. & helped make me who i am today. even if im not very good at it. so yeah basically. i have no idea what the point of explaining that was, but oh well.

Every 2 months or so, we all go on about it. The truth is , Photography is art/ plain and simple. It can also be fine art.

Cameras make it so easy nowadays to get a great exposure it does a great disservice to the artisan photographer. I mean, I doesn't he when your four year old can point and shoot a pretty good portrait or interesting perspective of something by accident. Your four year old can't accidentally paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

In some ways, photography is infinitely more difficult than other visual arts, I mean, you can only take a picture of what actually is there, and its really difficult to be there for things such as creation, and other mythical suppositions.

A photographer in a pharmacy takes passport photos of people, is not an artist... ALL people in DPC are artists.

Thanks. I just joined 1 month ago and for $25 I'm instantly an artist. I don't feel that I qualify yet as I just barely am breaking 5.0 scores

Next targets 5.5 and make the 50%.

Thanks to everyone here for feedback and encouragement. I enjoy the voting to see all the really great images.
