Well, photographers sometimes "paint" on thier images - or adds stuff made by hand or machine. Painters certaily use photographs. Either as a starting point or the iamge was projected on tto the cancas by lenses and mirrors - then painted. Brushes and CCD's/film are both tools for human image making - and are quite often combined.
The most popular Danish painting (Kroyer: Hip hip Hurra), which was recently elected the most popular painting in Denmark - was made with photographs as a starting point. Annother starting point was of cource the actual artisist party in Skagen.

Agreed. Big time. Nope. Gotta agree with Bob on this one. The difference between photography and painting is quite clear. Photography (in this sense) is an image derived from the momentary capture of light on an electronic or chemical sensor. Painting is the application of chemical substance on a surface. The fact that the results can sometimes look somewhat similar in no way makes the processes analogous. It kind of reminds me of the difference between sending a television image from one place to another, as opposed to teleporting that same object. Like in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Or Star Trek. They're two different concepts entirely, and can't be confused (although Willie Wonka confused them). cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- No virus found in this incoming message.
