OP should go back to sucking at Ghost Pilots.
Ghost Pilots is stupid. I'm going back to Ikaruga. At least it's fun.
In all seriousness though, photography is one of those things I find interesting, and also one of the few art related things I have never attempted seriously. The online information on whether photography is an art also seems to be heavily debated.
When I think art, I think something that takes skill to create, and attempts to convey some meaning. I think it's pretty reasonable for someone who has painted off and on most of their life with various media, to question these things if they don't have experience in them. Photography is very different from any other form of art medium, because you don't paint the picture yourself, the camera does.
Now I can see the points made by various people here, and I think I accept that it is art, BUT, I don't think it takes anywhere near as much skill as actually painting or drawing something of high quality, BUT, I don't have a ton of experience with it yet. I just took some pictures today with my Pentax, and I guess I will find that out first hand if I stick with it.
