I was so happy to read this article. It's funny because I used to ask the question that this article answered. I always wondered how the drawing or painting artists felt about photography and if they really thought of it as art. I used to try to come up with answers to the question myself but never really got a clear answer. I figured that the painters and drawers did not like the idea of creating something from scratch. I can understand why they would feel that way. I can definitely understand their point of view.
One thing the article did make me think about was photography in depth. The way that it was explained in the article was a new perspective for me. It did make me think a little more about photography and how it truly is an art. I like the idea of being able to capture something in real time and it be looked at as art. I do respect the painters because it is a true talent to be able to draw and paint some of the pieces I've seen. Photographers just have a different way of seeing things. It's intriguing that they can take a photo that, to the naked eye means nothing, but to an artist, it can tell an entire story.
I would have to say that I truly believe photography is an art. For a while I thought it was just a skill, but you have to have a certain type of eye to be able to see the beauty in the things photographers see.
