Austin,

Daring to intervene in this 'battle of wits', it occurs to me that the
photographs you are taking are perhaps NOT art. Art is surely something that
is an interpretation of the scene that is in the mind of the artist; it is
not just a record of the scene in front of him/her. Your statements seem to
say that you simply insist on accurately photographically RECORDING the
scene in front of you. That probably makes you a scientist, not an artist.
