Its something I've been thinking about a fair bit because of photography and honnestly is damn right confusing.

Photography is capturing a moment in time and alot of time is spent thinking about the framing the picture getting the right light and choosing the right subject.

But then that discounts the photographs taken by chance, those photos that capture so much meaning, or just look amazing and really it was just luck it came out that way.

I remember one photograph that I saw in the national portrait gallery that depicted two old ladies walking down the street, at the side there was a hedge with riot police hiding behind it whilst in the background and on the floor were bricks and pieces of wood.

The two old women were just walking through the riot chatting like nothing was happening.

This is a photo that could not be set up and yet it is considered art.

So does that mean if I'm looking through pictures of my friends can I decide that photo is not a picture of friends but is a piece of art work?
