Photography hot takes!

[MattKing]

For an art form to truly shine it need no justification to exist. It needs to appeal to everyone, from the uneducated to the connoisseur.

Understanding more about a piece of art isn't a process of seeking justification. It is a process of getting more out of a piece of art that already interests or satisfies or attracts appreciation.

For me, I want to see effort in art. I want to see that thought, time and intent went into the work.

I'm prepared to appreciate both effort, and remarkable inspiration - art that appears brilliant and almost effortless is fine by me. A lot of beautiful but also simple music is like this.

The “decisive Moment” is just a marketing phrase.

Considering all the fine arts, poets would be the closest to photographers.
