Art is about expression. Someone paints a picture/fashions a model of their anus out of frozen shit - its meant to mean something more than how it looks. I could pickle an animal but could I have been making the same statement? (well yes, because i'm a fucking genius aren't I?) there's a big difference between taking photographs and 'taking photographs', just like there's a difference between a technically well painted picture and some art.
