Photography…

Is photography a form of art?

I was thinking about this ever since I left that lecture room… I am never really the one behind the cams, I have had a few experience of being in front of it so naturally, I would like to think it is… But then of cos, I know there must be alot of people around thinking photography, especailly with the digital technologies and all, is simply a form of hobbies… Im not a photographer myself, but what did strike me was that, when I thught back to the good old alevel Art times, where we had to do portraits, we were asked to take a picture of each other, which some would not think is 'art', and then draw in on canvas, and magically, people suddenly see it as incredible art. So, the same person, the same position, the same of everything, yet one is DEFINITE art, one lies somewhere in between… How is that even possible? I wonder.
