Abstraction in Photography vs abstraction in other art forms

[._._z]

<i> I must agree with Jeff Locke on one point: photography can and cannot be art. If the

photograph is made with an artistic intent or message, then it is art. However I do not

believe that a commercial photographer doing a product shot is making art. </i><p>

 

It's not that it can and cannot be art. What you seem to be saying is that photgraphy can be

art, but not all photos are art by definition.

Exactly.
