Now, today you have a situation where everybody says, oh photography, no problem, I love it. What used to be called the painting and sculpture people, they are in principle totally sympathetic to photography, but they still havenât learned how to look at photographs. And so in a way itâs worse for photographic traditions, for traditions that are rooted in the use of photography as a way of going out and engaging and exploring the world, developing a real point of view about it thatâs expressed in the pictures, not in the caption underneath. That tradition I think still continues to suffer.
