Photography is an art, wherever it is and however it is. It's a way of seeing life through a lens, I like to be able to see it that way, it's going through the images and realizing your life, where you were, the past, present and future. It's fanning the flame and moving on. For me it's an art form and I really liked reading you and seeing your way of compensating .
I wouldn't say so. Only if it's quality, otherwise I wouldn't call it art.
