Like any form of art, photography is the medium that you use to
create it. To create a truely "good" work of art, you must have an
understanding of the materials you are working with as well as the
creativity or talent to create. But that doesn't mean that you have
to let the technical aspect of photography be the end-all-be-all of
your work. The idea of the work and the message that it conveys is
more important than a technically perfect print. I'd much rather
look at a photograph that has a strong idea or concept behind it
rather than a print that is technically good but has no meaning or
impact. This still doesn't mean that artists should totally
disregard technical aspects, but they should not let it get in the
way of their work...
