re: #73 Belafon

Sounds like the camera’s effect on art.

Nearly every photograph ever made is not art.

Early in the days of photography was the discussion about the “democratization” of art.

But it was mostly just fluff, a way for high-brow types to digest the impact of photography on society.

Most people do not use their cameras to make art. They use their cameras as a memory-assist. Which is fine, maybe even great. But it is not art.
