Camera Obscura

Photography is so often such a terrible medium. The photograph as 'art', rather than the humble snapshot. Black and white. Funny camera angles. Just the right lighting. All that sort of thing. It's the equivelant of bad watercolours of landscapes. So many pictures, they're all the same. I'm not entirely sure how to phrase this actually. Show me something new. I can't hack moodily-lit cityscapes, just the right shades of orange. Stop it. Bring back the snapshot as 'Photography as art'. For how long have we had to see the 'ideal' of photography as this same old same old.
