Pictures of Pictures

Technology had grew to a point where everyone can take a picture from the cellphones in their pockets. It made it easier for anyone to just take a snap of a moment any time. In this article the people were seen taking pictures of art with their phones and cameras. I agree many people choose to use their phones more than traditional and more professional cameras. But the many question is, are the photograph taken of the art piece really considered as art? Nowadays almost everything and anything could be consider as art. In my opinion I would say some of the photographs taken of an art piece could be said as art as long as there was consideration involved. The placement of the picture, the angle it was taken, the lighting and everything else makes a difference. If the photograph of the art piece was snapped with no thoughts involved I’ll say it was just a reference.
