"vastly superior"....hmmmm.
I don't think so. A talented artist, no doubt. Perhaps it is a silly argument; but then again, photography is not exactly painting.
Have you ever viewed a Vermeer? Now that's "vastly superior" painting. Then again, there is speculation that he and his contemporaries used a camera obscura in order to achive a startling sense of accuracy in composition, scale, detail, etc.
My point is, the materials themselves have a great deal more depth.
Help me: I am in forum hell. I am engaged in discourse regarding the dreaded film/digital debate, and now I am about to argue about what art is...."AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!"--Spiderman, c. 1974
