WOW!!! The studio tour was a great success....way beyond my expectations. It is good to see people about and enjoying art! And Photography is an art form. Comments have been said that photography can't be considered art because it is just tooooo easy! Early arguments stated that it was purely mechanical and contained no human sensibilities. Art must fulfill the following to be art...."In each, lines and colors combined in a particular way, certain forms and relations of forms, stir our aesthetic emotions." Stirring our emotions...Isn't that what good photography should and does do. "There are many schools of painting. Why should there not be many schools of photographic art? There is hardly a right and a wrong in these matters,but there is truth, and that should form the basis of all works of art," Alfred Stieglitz, American Amateur Photographer 1893
