Photography is not art.
________
You deserve to be flamed for such a ridiculous comment.
Nope, it is the capturing of an image with a mechanical device.
In the same respect, movie-making is not “art”.
Again, the Photoshopping of a photograph definately has some artistic aspects to it, but can’t be compared to taking a blank canvas and painting a coherent image.
Apparently I’ve offended some photographers on this site :)
It's the sort of comment commonly made by those who cannot match another's achievements.
Regardless of other factors, Ms. Leibovitz has created some memorable and impressive art with her camera.
