Am I deluded but as I have been in the whole web 2.0 community structures etc ... is it just me or do some community members personal sites which have emblazoned " Fine Art Photography by XXXXX " as their header lead much to believed as you peruse.
I would like to pose the question where the line between fine art and personal art or dare I say it plain bad art starts and end. I must admit my own pre-conception of fine art photography is of large deep images that are normally of either conecptual story based nature or of very graphic landscapes and abstracts.
Has this become that the true dis-tatse of the nations of the world really do beleive a well taken portrait of their child is " fine art" or is it like bokeh or Boakey (if you are scottish and describing a rising sickening feeling) a term bandied about whenever there is even so much as an out of focus area behind a compositional subject.
I hope we will all have some nice constructive arguments on the situation, just I must admit the more of these sites I find, the polarised nature of them is quite apparent.
