    "Genius of Photography"

    Have any of you seen it?

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/photography/genius/

    If you have, what do you think?

    And if you're not interested in the past, like way past, then just watch episode 6.

    Something that came to mind:

    It's pointless to ponder if photography is art. Just go out and shoot and one day - like what I've read sometime ago - your photographs may just become it

    Art is what other people think your photograph is.

    It seems to be that most of the photographers they talk about in the series are photographers that not going out there to make eye-pleasing photos. So, what are you doing?

    If you think Photoshop is bad, think again.

    Do you consider Gregory Crewdson a photographer? Or is he a photography director?

    Last but not least, now I know I don't know what I am doing (nothing new there).

    I'm waiting for the series to be put out on DVD, then it'll go in my collection.
