When art is understood by everybody, it will cease to be art

I was going to go climbing today, but my ankle is a little wonky from the adventure race Saturday morning and general exhaustion of the race, beer fest, and late night party. I did, however, make it over to the Gasparilla Art Fest downtown. While trying to get a bit more involved with my own interest in photography, I was most wanting to see the different styles of artists. One of the things I started to realize, never have had any formal art and design training, is that the framing or packaging of the art, especially photography, is almost equally critical to the success of the subject matter.
