To know whether photography is or is not an art matters little. What is important is to distinguish between good and bad photography.

By bad photography is mean that which is done, one may say, with a kind of inferiority complex, with no appreciation of what photography itself offers: but on the contrary, recurring to all sorts of imitations.
