[QUOTE="Nathan Lanni, post: 218836, member: 14629"] Photography as art is no different than painting or music - no restriction or inhibition on the artist's ability to create purely imaginative images - "Let's see, do I want tree here next to the stream, or maybe not?" The camera is a means to an end. Let's face it, the great master painters attempted to emulate still life, human likeness in portraits, etc., for people to admire, and landscape artists created massive landscape painting of the unsettled western US because photography was poor quality. We don't have Renaissance style master painters today because cameras made them obsolete. IMHO, the problem today is 99.9% of the human population don't know or care how an image was created. That is not going to change and the knowledge gap will continue to widen. But, for people that likely would know the difference in any field that touches on the arts, especially during this huge transitional period we're going through (computer generated whatever), the infidelity of it all is somewhat disturbing.
