A decade ago, when I thought of choosing photography as a profession at that time too, I often came across this statement, that whether photography is an art or not? Frankly speaking, that time for me it was more about the passion to be the lens-man and play with my passion. I was never involved so much in the depth of intellectuals. But today when people ask me about my take on it, then I look back and realize that yes, its a matter of discussion. But the very next moment I feel, is it really worth discussing something that is so universal and there can never be any doubt about it.

jsdykstra:

Painting is not an art. Neither is photography. The two are a type of media, and the working with which is considered a craft. Both can be used as a medium for art, but if a person paints it does not automatically equate to art, and the same goes for photography.
