    Is photography, Art?

    An interesting read about Peter Lik's $6.5M photo. But more interesting is the discourse on whether photography is Art, in general

    I can see the reporters point of view that photography is not necessarily Art, but then I wonder if someone approached him for a black and white of one of his iPad photos and offered him $1M, would he turn it down simply cause he does not see photography as Art, and that the value is not there?
