Photography is art because

Design in art, is a recognition of the relation between various things, various elements in the creative flux. You can't invent a design. You recognize it, in the fourth dimension. That is, with your blood and your bones, as well as with your eyes.

- D.H.Lawrence

So i submit that photography is in fact art once the consciousness of it's value exists. When it serves a strictly practical purpose, then it's just a means of it's intentions.

Cutest animals ever on Chive

The Chive website featured a heart-melting level of cuteness in their recurring article that presents animals. It's usually called "not all animals suck" but this time, they made an exception to make an ultra-kawai (extremely cute) post.

Liking the "new" camera. Even with my cheap lenses it focuses very accurately and fast. Image quality is also totally different league than 5D. I got used to the colors of the 5D, i sometimes wish it had the same process.
