photographic evangel - those advocating that photography is a form of art

Anyone can take a photo, so "the very success of photojournalism lies in the difficulty of distinguishing one superior photographer's work from another."

Sontag believes that photography is not, itself, an art form, but rather something to create art.

Ansel Adams "urges that we stop saying that we “take” a picture and always say we “make” one."

Robert Frank thinks "there is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment."

For Baudelaire, photography was painting’s “mortal enemy”; but eventually a truce was worked out, according to which photography was held to be painting’s liberator.

some think monochrome photos are "felt to be more tactful, more decorous than color"
