Gel replied to Tedric Garrison's discussion 'Is Photoshop Cheating?'"I have a sister who thinks that a photo is only what your camera produces but I firmly believe that a photo isn't just what comes out of the camera, it's also what you can make it. I edit almost all of my images, if only to give the image…"
Joy Franklin replied to Tedric Garrison's discussion 'Photography Art or Craft?'"I think of it more as an art and a science than a craft. You have to have the "eye" for it. Before I began playing around with photography I sincerely believed that you could give anyone a great camera and they could take great pictures. I…"
Greg Maklae replied to Tedric Garrison's discussion 'Photography Art or Craft?'"Photography is both an art and a craft, and neither segment is more important than the other. I think the ability to compose a scene others would not visualize is the art portion, while processing the image is the craft, as you are using software…"
Tedric Garrison posted a discussionPhotography Art or Craft?
The question has often been brought up is Photography an Art or a Craft? To answer that you have to define what is an Art or a craft. Most people would agree that a painter (scenic nothouse) is an Artist. Likewise a person that builds furniture is considered as a Craftsman. Using that as a reference point it could be said that an Artist creates something unique, whereas a Craftsman makes something that can be repeated again and again.Based on thatdefinition it would seem obvious that…See More
Robert Nilson replied to Tedric Garrison's discussion 'Is Photoshop Cheating?'"In my opinion, why would it be cheating? I mean... why even care if people whine about you manipulating your photos. If they say "But it's photoshoped!?", so what... i prefer it this way over the original way, and i like the tools…"

Tedric Garrison replied to Tedric Garrison's discussion 'Super Point and Shoot Cameras'"Thank you for this comment Dave. There are "Purist" who will argue that a 14 Mega Pixel point and shoot will not create the quality of a 10 Mega Pixel DSLR.

Dave Perkes replied to Tedric Garrison's discussion 'Super Point and Shoot Cameras'"I accept that an advances P+S camera is not as good as an SLR; however if you have P+S in your pocket you are going to get a usable shot; but not if you have left your SLR at home!

Jo replied to Tedric Garrison's discussion 'Grudge against Grunge Photography'"I do understand what everyone is saying on here.....but I do still think that people have the right to express their opinion and if they don't like something - they don't and that's ok too.

Alexis Winsor replied to Tedric Garrison's discussion 'Grudge against Grunge Photography'"Photography, as with other art forms, is a form of expression. Our values and expression are personal to each of us. Our world is richer for its diversity. We are free to express and to appreciate that which we choose as well as decide what does not…"

- Tedric Garrison is an award winning writer / photographer with over 30 years experience in photography. As a Graphic Art Major, he has a unique perspective on the Elements of Design and how they relate to photography.

Dasiavue said… - Thanks so much for your very nice compliment on my photo of Nature's Art. I am extremely flattered to have someone of your caliper to admire my work since I am a mere amateur. Nothing would please me more than to start a second career in photography after I retire from teaching (or even now)...except maybe a grandchild and winning the lottery. :)
