Philippe, he was asking us to consider a question (see title). What did you not agree with? I thought it was a very good summary of the way things have evolved with photography in the world of fine arts. It doesn't have anything to do with the kind of vernacular photography most of us practice. Cindy Sherman isn't irrelevant; she's just irrelevant to what most of us do with our cameras. I don't understand the kind of angst that worries that photography's role in art-making is a threat to its many other uses. Peace and love, bro! It's all good! ;-) And Merry Christmas to all. -- Phil Swango 307 Aliso Dr SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 505-262-4085
