Digital BW, The Print

And the two are distinctly different. It is one thing to look down on poor
craftsmanship, but if you fail to see the imagery because you lack the
ability to look past it, who's loss is it? I certainly can understand the
struggle. Have you ever gone to "support" a friend or relative in some
endeavor of art, be that music, theater, photos, only to have such a hard
time looking past the flaws that the beauty and form was lost? I am sure we
all have but I think that when it comes to buying and showing something, the
public will be the ultimate arbitrator of taste no matter how bad you know
the craftsmanship behind it to be. 

 

Standards are fine to put out to the public as guidelines but you can't
expect them to tow the line.

Or, do we need to step way back and remember this IS art and subject
to personal interpretation of what is important and what is not.
Should there be any rules at all, much less "standards"?

This is starting to remind me of "perfect photos" of test targets.

Craftmanship!! Let's not lose sight of that. Yes, there is 'ART'... but 
there must also be the CRAFT.
