There are attempts to build a picture on a par with fine art. In my opinion, this is wrong. Photography is designed to capture moments of life, snatch them, so to speak, with piping hot. Therefore, staged photography, no matter how beautiful no matter the composition or well-distributed light, etc. - no more than captured on film (or number) the effort of the author and producer to create a reality in the space of "beauty." Such an effort, recorded dispassionate technique usually produces a painful impression. And when thus created organizuyutya photographs in the exhibition, a painful impression is reinforced because the feeling that you are trying to almost force "feed" a frozen moment of "perfect" nowhere to go - except on the street.
But when the picture remains what, and is designed to be initially, ie Random lock (not created artificially) moments of life, the situation is improving. Then there is the chance that in the hands of the talented (and witty observational), the photographer, the lens unit "sees" certain elements of our world, united for a moment, in that unique picture of life which, in fact, is life itself. If and to compare these with the works of art, the closest they will be those to which we apply the term grotesque. Grotesque breaks everyday and familiar through the prism of the author's ironic attitude, which is no less rare quality in a painting than an ironic look through the lens of the camera for the photography. Opened, thus, from an unexpected point of view of everyday life, helps to begin to see clearly that in our life tragedy and comedy are just different sides of one coin.
So the picture does not need a photo exhibition. They look at them as ridiculous and hard to swallow, how to listen to stories at a specially organized for the festivals. The space of such pictures - newspapers, magazines, Internet - that is inseparable from the very rhythm of the world, who now lives in them.

This is a very controversial point of view, to put it mildly ...

How many commit random moments of life? In my opinion in general there is little, they are very mature.
Well, what about art, not art, too, is debatable, but I do not see sense. Not every traditional art can be for that kind of money to sell. In my opinion great art, povyrazitelnee many paintings.
