Juan and I have chatted briefly offline about this - at his instigation .
And in some ways the chat was kind of revelatory for me.
Those of us who participate regularly and have been involved here for a while can forget that not everyone sees forums like this as a current discussion resource.
If you aren't sorting your participation here using a "Recent Posts" filter, but instead looking for discussions on some of the more timeless issues, there is a lot of material available for your perusal.
The question of something like the "Art vs. Craft" question really isn't any more interesting because it is the subject of a new thread than if it is the subject of an old thread.
It is just a bit more awkward, when many of the earlier participants aren't around to contribute further.

Yes, the old discussions are still relevant and interesting and it is also fun to call them Zombie threads.

My A, B, C's of photographic art are vision

A: Vision at the release of the shutter
B: Vision in the darkroom
C: Vision at the enlarger.

It's all abut vision and the labor intensive steps to realize that vision.

I don't think anything about photography is necessarily labor-intensive. Unless you are building sets.

A: marry into money
B: hire assistants to do all of the actual work, and marketing types to place it
C: move to a nice island and ck up on the galleries that you bought now and then

No need to go any further than A: marry into money
(Be careful if you are so lucky as to marry into money. All your time and effort may go into ensuring you stay married.)
