Clarification.

[j3nn3ll]

never consider myself an "artist".

An real artist can create beauty out of nothing.

A painter can take a few globs of color and create something realer than reality.
A sculptor can create life out of rock.
A musician can take 7 notes, only 7, and create a symphony.

I can't do that.

I'm a conduit.

you don't think photography is art?

[j3nn3ll]

I think photography is art, but I don't think I am an artist.
A photographer cannot exist without the beauty in the world.
We are simply vessels.
The means more than the ends.

Does that make sense?

painters and drawers and sculptors cannot exist without the beauty of the world and inspiration
no one creates only from their mind.
you're an artist because you can take the world and mold it into a tiny frame of a photograph that you can show whatever you're meaning to show in it
not everyone can do that
i see your thinking but i still think photographers/YOU are artists.
or maybe just world-molders

art is really over-rated.
