Yes, But Is It Art? Ch. 487 - Early Scientific Photography
"Should we consider "Brought to Light: Photography and the Invisible, 1840-1900" an art exhibition just because the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art has organized it? It surveys photography's extension of human visual capacities, primarily in the hands of scientists, and it presents us with some pictorially striking images. But artistic intent figured in few, if any, of them." San Francisco Chronicle 12/10/08
