CBS Sunday News Macro Coin Photography Large Format

[Pete Roody]

When I was teaching photography at the University, I would not credit my students with a grade if they handed in prints of statues, graffiti, paintings, etc. I would tell them that the art was created by someone else who should be the ones to get credit for their creations. As for this photographer, I choose to think of him more as an entrepreneur and a business person dealing with reproductions of someone else's artistic work. Dealer, not an artist... Simple as that.

So if Atget was your student you would have failed him?

Whereas I would have given them extra credit if they could make the image (of statutes, graffiti, etc) their own.
