It is what it ain't

A thought-provoking monologue on defining photography by what it's not. Can't say I agree with all of it: Painting has played role in the development of photography, (and vice versa), and his philosophy on editing has my inner photojournalist all tied up in knots, but it's definitely worth a read.

    I just finished Ansel Adam's autobiography a few weeks ago. He had a very interesting quote, which I shall have to paraphrase: "A professional photographer has his subjects chosen for him, an artistic photographer gets to chose them for himself."
