I may be of an older school that was brought up with the ethic that a photograph catches the reality of the moment and the an artist interprets.
To me a highly edited,long exposure,special lens or highly saturated photograph becomes an interpretation and there for a work of art which in no way detracts from the appeal but as you will well know there are those who like different artists,a Van Gogh is a masterpiece to one and a complete enigma to another who would prefer a Gainsborough portrait.
I am surely entitled to say as much as the next person when I dislike something that does not appeal to me or am I not?
