 | | Originally, photographs were not intended as Art, they were documents, records, momentos, press images, family pictures etc. Still today, a large number of photographs are used for these purposes, but an image that invokes emotion the same way that an artwork does can surely be regarded as art. |
 | | Stieglitz was so determined that photography be regarded as an art form, that he founded his own society in 1905 with that purpose. |
 | | This proves that photography was not just a revolution in it's own right, but it also revolutionised the art world, literary world and the way that people viewed themselves and their surroundings. |
