Isn't it amazing how often that maxim applies to life situations.

You responded to something without reading it. I blame you.
Yes, and you responded to views you hadn't read. Nothing surprises me here any more. No, you are not wrong if you disagree with what I...

There is now way for me to sufficiently convey the facepalm I just experienced. What mattered to them was the ability to record their thoughts. You know that for much of human history books were...
-
I'm not really sure what the intended audience has to do with my discussion. Yes, art is meant to be seen but that is not necessary to its meaning or creation. Like you said, sometimes the artist...

I love the ethereal concept of the human making the difference. It implies that the human can accomplish anything without any real consideration for what he uses to make the difference. Human...
-
That's not in the same ballpark as what I was talking about. I was not advocating having the latest and greatest with all the most modern gimmicks to take the place of artistic talent or creative...
-
Placed firmly between the creator and the subject, physically speaking. Creatively speaking, the camera is place right between the creator and the created. I was not attempting to emphasize the...
-
I think most people come here to discuss or argue, and there are tons of really maddening threads of just back and forth accomplishing nothing to prove that. I appreciate the compliment and the...
-
Excellent point and well said. That was certainly one angle I hadn't considered. This follows with the saying "the more things change the more they stay the same" because once someone creates...
-
You answered the question well, but the reason I did not is because it was obvious the point was to get into a long, drawn out debate about nothing. All it is going to do is waste space. Please...

Someone else posted this but it applies here.
And some other good...

LOL No, art is art. Creation is creation. His art is very specific and yet I doubt anyone would say his method for producing his art doesn't matter. The process is the art and it all...

Exactly, there is no need to confuse the tool and the artist. By saying one is more important that the other that is exactly what people do. The two are placed in exactly the same category and...

Absolutely. And you, at least, appear to have read what I wrote. I'm pretty sure others can read a few lines and still be reassured that what others have to say isn't worth reading.

LOL I knew posting my opinion would bring some of you guys out of the woodwork.

Just read this and thought it was interesting.

You're wrong. If he'd had a pinhole camera he might have gotten a much...

I love these arguments. They mean nothing but they sound great. In each case the tool used plays a vastly different role in the artistic form for which it is intended. The truth is the artist...
-
In other words, the camera mattered. You must have interpreted my discussion as an argument against the artist. The artist is crucial. So is the camera. In two totally different ways.
-
And the combination of the event, equipment, and ability made the pictures. If he'd had an 8X10 view camera would he have managed the same pictures? If he'd had a better camera would he have...

I'm sure that technique would apply to every single photographic situation, right? This is how we're all going to do it in the future, right? The exceptions only serve to prove the rule. Using...
