>>2994333I don't believe in an idea of "lesser" or "higher" mediums, I can do both and more, but each one has it's own boundaries and strengths that any artist should be aware of and learn to use them accordingly.
It's stupid to use photography as a pure visual form, there is, indeed, painting for those things.
But I think that greatest value of photography for an artist is that in most cases it is percieved as a document, delieverd message, something that is real and exists or happened and good artist can build anything on that perception.
