Digital BW, The Print

There are artist that pick up a camera and use it as another art 
form, such as some one like David Hockney.

Or, someone such as Chuck Close who uses b&w photographs to use as a 
referance for his paintings.

But I've yet to meet a photographer that has thrown away his camera 
and started using another media to create "art".

Photographers are not artist. They're photographers.

I don't like when someone refers to me as an artist. I've never 
wanted to be one.

I've always wanted to be a photographer. That's what I am and that's 
what I want to be known as.

My reply to Clayton regarding this matter was meant as a joke. No one 
should have  taken it seriously.

Long live photographers.
