I also was offended by the remark. ;-)
In this day and age where almost anything is considered art, I also feel
that artful photography is most certainly art.

I don't want to start a whole big thing about whether or not
photography is "art". Far as I'm concerned it is and that's "settled
law". Helmut's "answer" is a bit oblique for me and since you don't
disagree, care to comment further? Thanks!
