Photography is Work

I made a couple of images in support of the "Artwork is Art" campaign with a slant to photography.  As a photographer, it has been my experience that people generally place a low value and importance on the photographic arts as opposed to other art forms, i.e. painting or sculpture.  Also, the availability of high quality cameras and editing software, along with the marketing message that "photography is easy", makes many believe that there are no skills needed to create photographic artworks.  This is unfortunate, because people end up with images of adequate quality for the family album, but lacking in the visual impact that a skilled photographic artist could bring.

And just for fun!
