I have heard art defined as 'what critics call art'. I didn't bother to

It brings to mind something which I've noticed before, however...

If a photo is by someone who is already a "known artist/photographer"  
of some repute, it seems to be judged by different standards than if  
it was made by one of the unwashed masses.  Or am I full of crap?

Several years ago, someone posted this photo by HCB:

http://tinyurl.com/4sqzh3

http://www.magnumphotos.com/CoreXDoc/MAG/Media/TR3/F/W/Z/E/PAR44919.jpg

without identifying the photographer, and posted it on a list for
comment.  The comments were hilarious!  Much like Mike's
faux-comments, except they were real, from well-meaning idiots who
were trying to dispense "advice" to someone who they thought to be a
tyro. ("The bike is blurry - perhaps next time you should pan" "Is the
photo of the railing or the bike?  You should pick one subject and
concentrate on that next time.")


Anyway, Mike's "comments" were hilarious.  A great read!  Thanks for posting.
