Photographers who understood this difference continued their experiments with chemicals, filters, and a variety of light-sensitive paper. Despite the physical limitations of the medium, their individual efforts gradually gave shape to a thought-provoking form of photographic art.

These visual pioneers had conceived of something that blended with art… painting & photography joined at the hip but each with a distinct identity of its own.

We’ve now reached a point where many people have begun to enjoy the feeling of owning a photographic print. Photography as a fine art form is beginning to make an impact in the consciousness of the buyer. It’s always been possible to relate to a photograph emotionally, but now it’s reached that happier stage where one also connects to the image on an abstract level.

The question then comes to mind is that if a photograph can be a collectable, why has it taken so long to reach a level of acceptance?

There are many reasons for this . . . the obvious one is that art has been around for thousands of years. Photography, on the other hand, has been around for a fraction of that time . . . less than two hundred years or so.
