All of life is a constant attempt to manipulate environment. When
manipulation is the primary means to an artistic visual representation
of inner spirit, which all art must be, the end result is outright lie
which nowadays comes out as soulless cartoon fantasy. The reason
photography is less than art is that what it depicts is experienced
second hand, its creator cannot see to engage the subject with the
spirit, the tool stands in the way. Thus, gimmick substitutes not only
for experiment but for true emotion and spiritual connection, not only
in the perpetrator of the artifact but in those who view the travesty as
well.
