ART
ART
I like Seth Godwin’s blog. It’s not directly related to photography, but many of his posts certainly relate to business and the business of photography. He often posts things that relate well to Art in general and today was an excellent example of that.
For myself, I have always defined Art as something created to invoke an emotional response in the viewer, but Seth’s definition works very well.
Seth’s Post:
Art is what we call…
the thing an artist does.
It’s not the medium or the oil or the price or whether it hangs on a wall or you eat it. What matters, what makes it art, is that the person who made it overcame the resistance, ignored the voice of doubt and made something worth making. Something risky. Something human.
Art is not in the eye of the beholder. It’s in the soul of the artist.
You can reach his blog here and read it directly, sign up for a feed, or have it emailed to you. For myself, his is one of a handful of blogs I get emailed to me directly, so I don’t miss them, even when I am not in a position to search the web (we used to call this traveling 
).
