A shot across the bow of the S.S. Photography is Not An Art? No, not really. Though I will rally behind the argument in favor of my chosen medium’s inclusion into the realm of the high arts.
When the day is over, no matter the medium, it’s still about light and subject and composition. I don’t think you can escape that. Substitute tone/melody for light and music can be included in that set of rules.
Anything worth building needs a foundation.

More worthy than much that claims to be! I’m really enjoying this one Garrison. Reminds me of kyle and Nick www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRMe5H9WKpM and so Millais’s Ophelia

judging from various biennals and much of art review i’d suggest that photography [and in the form of video] is dominating the art scene and has done for a while now. Which somehow emphasis your point about ‘what’ in the previous post… that ‘what’ being acheived regardless of the means constitutes the ‘art’.
That is a particularly beautiful song that TK has associated with your image
