Two images of the miners' strike, an instant apart: so which is the classic?
So I suppose these prove that photography is art? (down to our interpretation, provoke an emotional response).<p>So that leads on to other questions.<p>Why hasn&#x27;t photography developed the same delineation between &#x27;documentary&#x27; and &#x27;art&#x27;, that film seems to have developed?<p>These images seem quite stylised,and emotive in a way that tv news isn&#x27;t (even those pictures of African kids with flies in their eyes).<p>Even in text theres stylistic differences between &#x27;news&#x27; and &#x27;novel&#x27;.<p>To put it in perhaps a clearer way. I could see these hanging in an art gallery. I wouldn&#x27;t expect a newspaper to win a literature award, or a news item to win a film award. And yes there are many exceptions to both those examples :)
